Steering Link Rod Fasteners
IMPORTANT: The steering link rod that connects the steering cable to the engine must be fastened using special
washer head bolt ("d" ‑ Part Number 10‑856680) and self‑locking nylon insert locknuts ("a" & "c" ‑ Part Number
11‑826709113). These locknuts must never be replaced with common nuts (non‑locking) as they will work loose
and vibrate off, freeing the link rod to disengage.
!
WARNING
Disengagement of a steering link rod can result in the boat taking a full, sudden, sharp turn. This potentially
violent action can cause occupants to be thrown overboard exposing them to serious injury or death.

Fuse Replacement ‑ Electric Start Remote Control Models
IMPORTANT: Always carry spare SFE 20 AMP fuses.
The electric starting circuit is protected from overload by an SFE 20 AMP fuse. If the fuse is blown, the electric
starter motor will not operate. Try to locate and correct the cause of the overload. If the cause is not found, the
fuse may blow again. Replace fuse with a fuse of the same rating.
