After installation is complete (and before operat-

Lubrication

Lubrication and maintenance inspection of the steer-

ing system is the owners responsibility. It must be per-

formed every 60 days in fresh water or 30 days in salt

water.

Refer to operators manual for correct lubrication and

maintenance procedure.

Remote Control Installation

Refer to “Quicksilver Accessories Guide” to deter-

mine correct length of remote control cables.

IMPORTANT: Remote control cables must be cor-

rect length. Sharp bends on too-short cables re-

sult in “kinks;” too-long cables require unneces-

sary bends and/or loops. Both conditions place

extra stress on the cables.

IMPORTANT: Install control cables to remote con-

trol and mount remote control BEFORE attaching

control cables to engine. Refer to installation in-

structions included with remote control.
