PowerāAssisted 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 quickāconnect fittings, connect the powerāassisted steering hoses to the actuator. Ensure that the
quickāconnect fittings snap into place.
a - Powerāassisted steering actuator
b - Highāpressure hydraulic supply hose
c - Lowāpressure hydraulic return hose
4. On models without quickāconnect fittings, connect the powerāassisted steering hoses to the actuator. Tighten both fittings
to the specified torque.
