Steering Systems
Rotary Steering or Rack and Pinion Steering
If your boat has either rotary or rack-and-pinion steering refer to the engine manual for steering system details.
Manual Hydraulic Steering
If your boat has a manual hydraulic steering system refer to the engine manual for steering system details and also
note the following:
• Manual hydraulic steering operates differently from rotary or rack-and-pinion steering.
• A rhythmic pulsing when turning the wheel is caused by the pump and is not a malfunction.
• Also, when coming off a hard turn, 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.
Shift/Throttle
Read all of the information about the shift/throttle lever in the shifter/throttle manual, the engine operation manual,
and the Sport Boat Owner’s Manual.
Power Trim and Tilt
• The outboard on your boat is equipped with power trim and tilt.
• Read the trim and tilt instructions provided in the engine operation manual.
LOSS OF CONTROL HAZARD!
Improper maintenance of shift/throttle hardware may cause a sudden loss of control!
