90-830234R3 DECEMBER 19971D-6 - IMPORTANT INFORMATION
Co-Pilot Installation (Tiller
Handle models)
WARNING
Avoid possible serious injury or death from loss
of boat control. The Co-pilot assembly must be
installed and adjusted to maintain sufficient
steering friction to prevent the outboard from
steering into a full turn if the tiller handle is re-
leased.
1. Thread the friction collar (a) onto the starboard
side of the tilt tube. Tighten securely and position
the adjustment knob toward front of outboard.
2. Insert pilot rod (b) into the friction collar.

IMPORTANT: The co-pilot link rod (c) must be fas-
tened using self locking nylon insert locknuts
(“f”& “g”– Part Number 11-45592).These lock-
nuts 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 the co-pilot 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.
3. Lubricate both ends of the link rod with Quicksil-
ver 2-4-C w/Teflon Marine Lubricant. Install link
rod between the tiller handle mount and pilot rod
as shown.
