CAUTIONS:
- -3 Steering cylinders are fitted with ORB hose fittings. DO NOT use NPT fittings.
- Oil level and system check is critical to the safe operation of your boat, failure to follow this important step may lead to loss of steering control.
- Continuous kinking, rubbing, chafing or twisting of a steering hose may eventually weaken the hose to a point where it could rupture.
- Engines with rigid engine mounts have been shown to cause premature wear to the pivot cylinder.
- If installing with a jack plate make sure that there isn't any interference between the jack plate and your steering cylinder.
Installation Notes:
- Splashwells of less than 30" in overall width may require engine removal in order to install the support rod.
- Substituting brass fittings into the steering cylinder will result in galvanic corrosion and irreparable damage to the cylinder as well as affect system integrity.
- If the engine manufacturer has installed caps, plugs, and/or screws into the tiller arm, these caps, plugs and/or screws MUST be removed prior to continuing with installation.
- It is required that the tiller bolt head is in place with a wrench while tightening the tiller nut to proper torque specification. Failure to do so may result in loss of steering.
Tools Required for Installation:
- 7/16", 1/2", 9/16", 5/8" and 3/4" open end or box type Wrench/spanner, 2 required.
- 5/32" Allen Key/Wrench
- 5/16" dia. drill bit.
- Additional tools may be required for the following:
- Removal of existing steering components (mechanical steering systems.)
