elevations. See an authorized dealer.
Exterior Care
Your outboard is protected with a durable baked enamel finish. Clean and wax often using marine cleaners and

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 10-856680) and self-locking nylon insert locknuts ("b" & "e" - 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.
Assemble steering link rod to steering cable with two flat washers and nylon insert locknut. Tighten locknut until it
seats, then back nut off 1/4 turn.
Assemble steering link rod to engine with special washer head bolt, locknut and spacer. First torque bolt to
specifications, then torque locknut to specifications.
