Steering
• Boat steering is not self centering.
• Refer to the engine manual for steering system details.
Hydraulic Steering System (If Equipped)
• A rhythmic pulsing when turning the wheel is a characteristic of the pump and is not a malfunction.
• Also, when coming off a hard-over position, resistances may be felt, followed by a distinct sound. This is normal
and is caused by the release of the system’s check valve.
• The fluid reservoir for the hydraulic steering system is located at the helm. Check the fluid level regularly.
• Boat steering is not self-centering.
Shift/Throttle Controls
Read all of the information about the shift/throttle controls in the shift/throttle manual, the engine operation manual,
and the Sport Boat Owner’s Manual.
Power Trim & Tilt
• The outboard(s) on your boat is equipped with power trim and tilt.
• Trim and tilt instructions are provided in the engine operation manual and the shift/throttle manual.
LOSS OF CONTROL HAZARD!
Improper maintenance of the shift/throttle hardware may cause a sudden loss of control!
