Steering Friction Adjustment

Tiller models are equipped with a steering friction
adjustment. Steering friction is not required when
remote steering is used.
Adjust steering friction with outboard mounted to
boat by loosening or tightening the adjustment
screw. Steering friction should be adjusted so a
slight drag is felt when turning.
WARNING
Do not overtighten. The steering friction
screw is not intended to allow "hands off"
steering.

Throttle Friction Adjustment

Tiller models are equipped with a throttle friction
adjustment knob located on the steering handle.
Tighten the knob to reduce the effort required to
hold a throttle setting.
Turn the knob:
•
clockwise to increase friction
•
counterclockwise to decrease friction
Tighten knob only enough to hold throttle
at a constant engine speed. Overtighten-
ing will prevent quick throttle change in
case of emergency.
