12. Steering
Your boat comes equipped with a hydraulic steering system. The basic system for a single engine boat
contains a steering wheel, a hydraulic helm pump, a hydraulic steering cylinder, and hydraulic hoses. If
you purchase a Mercury Verado® six cylinder engine, the steering system includes an electric power
assisted steering pump to aid in the handling of the vessel.
Operaon
When turning the steering wheel, the helm pump forces hydraulic uid through hoses to and from the
steering cylinder which is connected to the ller arm on the engine. The cylinder moves the ller arm
to either port and starboard, depending upon the direcon the steering wheel is turned.
