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 ("a" - Part Number 10-849838) and
self-locking nylon insert locknuts ("c" & "d" - 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.
