Power‑Assisted Steering Hoses
IMPORTANT: Make hydraulic connections as quickly as possible to prevent fluid leaks.
1. Route the hoses to avoid contact with the steering system components.
2. If required, use extra hose clips to secure the hoses to the transom.
3. On models with quick‑connect fittings, connect the power‑assisted steering hoses to the actuator. Ensure that the
quick‑connect fittings snap into place.
a - Power‑assisted steering actuator
b - High‑pressure hydraulic supply hose
c - Low‑pressure hydraulic return hose
4. On models without quick‑connect fittings, connect the power‑assisted steering hoses to the actuator. Tighten both fittings
to the specified torque.
