Power Steering Assembly Installation - Mercury BRAVO Service Manual

POWER STEERING
Installation
Steering cable outer casing MUST BE free to move back-and-forth for steering to
function properly. DO NOT fasten any wires, cables or other items to steering cable,
as this may prevent it from moving.
1. Lubricate bushings with Special Lubricant 101.
2. Slide the power steering cylinder bushings between the transom mounting brackets.
3. Ensure that the washer tangs straddle the ridges on the inner transom plate.
4. Torque the pivot bolts to 25 lb-ft (34 Nm).
5. Bend the washer tabs against the corresponding flats on both pivot bolt heads.
6. Ensure the power steering control valve pivots freely.
