Mount the Outboard Feedback so that it will not be damaged when the motor is tilted for trailering.
Installation
The Outboard Feedback may be mounted
with the sliding rod facing either left or right.
Before you install the Feedback, move the
steering gear through its full range of motion
from one side to the other. Measure the
change in length, of the hydraulic steering
cylinder rod. If the rod extends or retracts
more than 10 in. (254 mm), make spacers to
limit the motion of the steering system as
shown on page 35.
Turn the motor so that it is centered between
the left and right limits of travel.
Use a tape measure or ruler to position the
Outboard Feedback rod so that it projects
5.25 in. (133 mm) from the body of the
Outboard Feedback.
Loosely clamp the Outboard Feedback to the
tube of the hydraulic cylinder using both
pieces of the two piece mount and the
stainless steel band clamp. The clamp should
be positioned as close as possible to the tube
end where the cable exits.
Remove the nut from the end of the rod on
the hydraulic cylinder. Place the stainless
steel bracket over the threaded end of the rod
and replace the nut. Do not completely
tighten at this time.
Adjust the position of the Outboard Feedback
so that the end of the sliding rod is flush with
the Stainless Bracket. Screw the nut onto the
threaded rod at the end of the Outboard
Feedback.
