Steering
Your boat uses a rack or rotary style steering systems that features a
cable that functions with assistance through the engine power steering
pump. As you turn the wheel force is applied through the system to
a hydraulic cylinder found at the aft end of the engine and attached
through the engine power steering pump hoses.
With the engine running, check the engine power steering pump
level before each outing. Add the appropriate power steering fl uid.
Periodically inspect the entire steering system for tightness and signs
of wear and leaks including the steering wheel. Lubricate the steering
shaft at the engine. Refer to the manufacturer’s engine manual in the
owner’s pouch for additional information along with the maintenance
chart in this chapter.
Frequently check your battery terminals for corrosion buildup. If you
fi nd a greenish, powdery substance, remove the cable connections
