Steering friction adjuster

WARNING
Do not overtighten the steering friction ad-
juster. If there is too much resistance, it
could be difficult to steer, which could re-
sult in an accident.
The steering friction adjuster provides adjust-
able resistance to the steering mechanism,
and can be set according to operator prefer-
ence. The steering friction adjuster is located
on the port side of the outboard motor.

ates to prevent the outboard motor from being
