Connecting the Hydraulic Hoses to the Tilt Steering Helm
NOTE: The hoses may be routed up through the steering helm opening in the dash and secured to the helm fittings prior to
mounting the steering helm.
1. Route the steering hoses through the standard backing plate on the internal side of the dashboard. Route the steering
hoses through the drilled opening.
2. Remove and discard the shipping caps from ends of the four fittings on the steering helm. Ensure the O‑ring seals did not
lift off with the shipping caps.
3. Ensure the O‑ring seals are in place on the end of the steering helm fittings.
NOTE: Do not use thread sealant on these hydraulic hose connections.
a - O‑ring seal (4)
b - Plug (not used)
4. Make the hose connections to the steering helm as shown. Use a thin wrench and keep the helm fittings from turning while
tightening hoses to specification. Do not over‑tighten the hose connections.
