Steering Link Rod Fasteners
IMPORTANT: The steering link rod that connects the steering cable to the
engine must be fastened using the steering link rod fastening hardware
supplied with the engine. Never replace the locknuts with common nonlocking
nuts; they will work loose and vibrate off, allowing the link rod to disengage
from the steering cable.
!
WARNING
Improper fasteners or improper installation procedures can result in
loosening or disengagement of the steering link rod. This can cause a
sudden, unexpected loss of boat control, resulting in serious injury or death
due to occupants being thrown within or out of the boat. Always use required
components and follow instructions and torque procedures.
Assemble the steering link rod to the steering cable with a flat washer and
nylon insert locknut. Tighten the locknut until it seats, then back nut off 1/4 turn.
