Steering Link Rod Fasteners
IMPORTANT: The steering link rod that connects the steering cable to the
engine must be fastened using a special washer head bolt (P/N 10‑849838)
and self‑locking nylon insert locknuts (P/N 11‑826709113). Never replace
locknuts with common nuts (nonlocking) 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.
