Steering Link Rod Fasteners

IMPORTANT: The steering link rod that connects the steering cable to the
engine must be fastened using the steering link rod fastening hardware
supplied with the engine. Never replace the locknuts (11‑16147‑‑3) with
common nuts (nonlocking) as they will work loose and vibrate off, freeing the
link rod to disengage.
Improper fasteners or improper installation procedures can result in
loosening or disengagement of the steering link rod. This can cause a
sudden, unexpected loss of boat control, resulting in serious injury or death
due to occupants being thrown within or out of the boat. Always use required
components and follow instructions and torque procedures.
