Center Alignment
Keep the following in mind before alignment:
9 Pick a location protected from wind and free of heavy
weeds, timber and other obstructions.
9 Always keep your outboard straight and in the water.
Your outboard acts as a keel that, if turned to the
side, will bias your boat’s movement through the
water. Leaving your outboard in the water is also
important as it stabilizes the back of your boat while
steering, especially at moderate to high speeds.
9 Always securely tighten the bracket retention knob to
hold the shaft and head securely.
9 If Center (Straight Ahead) is not calibrated correctly,
you will not achieve the best steering performance.
This motor is equipped with Smart Steer software that
relies on Center (Straight Ahead) being calibrated
correctly.
Remember, the Stow and Center settings can be
easily recalibrated as needed.
Center Alignment Procedure
1) Lower the motor to the Run position.
2) Place the foot pedal in the center detent position.
3) Use the Center Calibration Dial to steer your lower
unit to approximately straight ahead.
4) Set the speed wheel at 0.
5) Pick an object directly in front of your boat (a large
tree, rock, dock, etc.). Push and release the
Constant-On button once. Ramp up your speed
wheel, watching how your boat moves toward the
object.
6) Use the Center Calibration Dial to steer the boat
straight ahead.
7) Adjust the dial until your boat moves in a straight line
for at least 10 seconds.
8) Press and release the Constant-On button once to
stop the motor.
9) This calibration may be repeated as needed.
