NOTE: Ride-Guide Steering Cables are lubricated at the factory and require no additional
lubrication at initial installation.
WARNING
Core of each steering cable (transom end) must be fully retracted into cable hous-
ing before lubricating cable. If cable is lubricated while extended, hydraulic lock
of cable could occur.
3. With core of Ride-Guide Steering Cable (transom end) fully retracted, lubricate tran-
som end of steering cables thru grease fittings (a) with 2-4-C with Teflon. Lubricate
exposed portion of cable end (b) with 2-4-C with Teflon.
4. Lubricate pivot point (c) of steering link rod and ball joint (d) of link rod with SAE 30
Weight Oil.
5. Inspection and lubrication of steering head assembly (rotary or straight rack) should
be performed once each year (by your Authorized Dealer) or whenever steering
mount and/or steering head are disassembled, or if steering effort has increased. Lu-
bricate with 2-4-C with Teflon.

Ride Guide Steering Cable/Attaching Kit Installation
(92876A8)
Dual Cable - Single Outboard
WARNING
Quicksilver Super Ride-Guide Steering (dual cables) MUST BE USED with this at-
taching kit. Failure to adhere to this requirement could result in steering system
failure.
Refer to “Quicksilver Accessories Guide” to determine correct length of steering
cables and remote control cables.
IMPORTANT: Steering cables and remote control cables MUST BE THE CORRECT
LENGTH, sharp bends on too-short cables result in “kinks”; too-long cables re-
quire unnecessary bends and/or loops. Both conditions place extra stress on the
cables and will reduce the performance of the steering system.
CAUTION
With this kit installed, the upper (outboard) mounting bolts MUST BE installed so
that hex head end of bolts is on the inside of boat transom, as illustrated. Failure
to install upper mounting bolts, as shown in illustration, could result in interfer-
ence between steering cable nut and ends of mounting bolts when outboard is
tilted up.
