Steering Link Rod Fasteners
DUAL CABLE STEERING
Installation instructions for dual cable single engine applications are
included with the dual cable kit.
IMPORTANT: The steering link rod that connects the steering
cables to the engine must be fastened using special washer
head bolt ("a" – Part Number 10-849838) and self locking nylon
insert locknuts ("b" & "c" – Part Number 11-34863). These lock-
nuts must never be replaced with common nuts (non locking)
as they will work loose/vibrate off freeing link rod to disengage.
Disengagement of a steering link rod can result in the boat
taking a full, sudden, sharp turn. This potentially violent ac-
tion can cause occupants to be thrown overboard exposing
them to serious injury or death.
Assemble steering link rod to steering cable with two flat washers (d)
and self locking nylon insert locknut ("b" – Part Number 11-34863).
Tighten locknut (b) until it seats, then back nut off 1/4 turn.
Assemble steering link rod to engine with special washer head bolt
("a" – Part Number 10-849838) and self locking nylon insert locknut
("c" – Part Number 11-34863). First torque bolt (a) to 20 lb. ft. (27.1
N·m), then torque locknut (c) to 20 lb. ft. (27.1 N·m).
