Steering Friction Adjustment
!
WARNING
Insufficient friction adjustment can cause serious injury or death due to loss
of boat control. When setting the friction adjustment, maintain sufficient
steering friction to prevent the outboard from steering into a full turn if the
tiller handle is released.
!
WARNING
Avoid serious injury or death from unattended boat operation. Even with
throttle grip friction and steering friction applied, the operator must remain at
the controls and be ready to evade hazards.
35–60 HP MODELS
35–60 hp models include a copilot lever to set the steering friction. Adjust the
copilot lever to achieve the desired steering friction (drag) on the tiller handle.
Move the lever to starboard to increase the friction, or move the lever to port to
decrease the friction. A quick reference decal is located on the transom clamp.
