Steering friction adjuster
A friction device provides adjustable resis-
tance to the steering mechanism, and can
be set according to operator preference.
An adjusting screw or bolt is located on
the swivel bracket.
To increase resistance, turn the adjuster
clockwise. To decrease resistance, turn the
adjuster counterclockwise.
Do not overtighten the friction adjuster. If
there is too much resistance, it could be
difficult to steer, which could result in an
accident.
Power trim and tilt switch on remote
control or tiller handle
The power trim and tilt system adjusts the
outboard motor angle in relation to the
transom. Pressing the switch “ ” (up) trims
the
outboard motor up, then tilts it up. Pressing
the switch “ ” (down) tilts the outboard mo
tor down and trims it down. When the
switch is released, the outboard motor will
stop in ts current position.
NOTE:
For instructions on using the power trim
and
tilt switch, see pages 37 and 39.
An improperly adjusted trim tab could
cause difficult steering. Always test run
after the trim tab has been installed or re-
placed to be sure steering is correct. Be
sure you have tightened the bolt after ad-
justing the trim tab.
If the boat tends to veer the left (port side),
turn the trim tab rear end to the port side
“A” in the figure. If the boat tends to veer
the right (starboard side), turn the trim tab
end to the starboard side “B” in the figure.
