Steering Systems:
Sedona boats are equipped with various steering systems. Some models have non-tilt mechanical
steering, tilt mechanical steering, or tilt hydraulic steering. Note below a listing and brief description
of each. Please read your steering systems ownerʼs manual for additional information concerning
maintenance, use and safety. Check with your dealer before changing your steering system.
Your Sedona boat will be equipped with one of three complete steering systems:
1. Non-tilt mechanical system: With this steering system, the steering wheel connects to a cable
which transfers movement to the engine rudder. You will NOT be able to tilt your steering wheel on
the driverʼs helm.
2. Tilt mechanical system: With this steering system, the steering wheel connects to a cable which
transfers movement to the engine rudder. You will be able to adjust the tilt of your steering wheel
on the driverʼs helm. This tilt works somewhat like a tilt wheel in an automobile. Use it to set the
height and angle of the steering wheel for your comfort and use.

Hydraulic Steering System visit:

Tilt steering lever found here.
3. Hydraulic system: With this steering system, the steering wheel movement pumps hydraulic uid
through lines to a cylinder which transfers movement to the engine rudder. Sedona uses Sea Star for
itʼs Hydraulic Steering System. This steering system makes it easier to control the boat because the
steering wheel is easier to turn.
For additional information please refer to the Sea Star ownerʼs manual provided with your Sedona
ownerʼs packet. Please read this manual for additional information concerning maintenance, use and
safety.
All steering systems require periodic maintenance to be trouble-free and safe. Regular checks are
essential. Check the cables regularly and tighten them as needed. If you nd that your steering is
giving you problems, do not use your boat until you have your dealer resolve the problem. Remem-
ber that steering does vary from boat to boat depending on the type of engine, water and wind condi-
tions, and the type of boat you have. Getting the “feel” of your boatʼs steering system is important.
Before each boat outing, turn the wheel full left to full right. Check that the drive unit is turning
correctly, freely and smoothly. Sedona does recommend Hydraulic Steering for higher horse-power
engines and the system comes standard on “performance package” models.
Shift &Throttle Control System:
The shift & throttle control system on your boat will vary from model to model and depending the
type you have selected. The control described in this section may vary slightly from the control on
your boat. Please refer to the shift & throttle control ownerʼs manual supplied with your Sedona
ownerʼs packet for specic maintenance, use and safety information.
