Steering Link Rod Fasteners
IMPORTANT: The steering link rod that connects the steering
cable to the engine must be fastened using special washer head
bolt (“a” – Part Number 10-14000) and self locking nylon insert
locknuts (“b” & “c” – Part Number 11-34863). These locknuts
must never be replaced with common nuts (non locking) as they
will work loose and vibrate off freeing the link rod to disengage.
WARNING
!
Disengagement of a steering link rod can result in the boat tak-
ing a full, sudden, sharp turn. This potentially violent action
can cause occupants to be thrown overboard exposing them
to serious injury or death.
Assemble steering link rod to steering cable with two flat washers (d)
and self locking nylon insert locknut (“b” – Part Number 11-34863).
Tighten locknut (b) until it seats, then back nut off 1/4 turn.
Assemble steering link rod to engine with special washer head bolt
(“a” – Part Number 10-14000) and self locking nylon insert locknut
(“c” – Part Number 11-34863). First torque bolt (a) to 20 lb. ft. (27.1
N·m), then torque locknut (c) to 20 lb. ft. (27.1 N·m).
