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 engine. Never replace the
locknuts (11‑16147‑‑3) with common nuts (non‑locking) as they
will work loose and vibrate off, freeing the link rod to disengage.
!
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 locknut until it seats, then
back nut off 1/4 turn.
