FEATURES & CONTROLS
Insufficient friction adjustment can cause serious injury or death
due to loss of boat control. When setting the friction
adjustment, maintain sufficient steering friction to prevent the
outboard from steering into a full turn if the tiller handle or steering
wheel is released.
Adjust the steering co‑pilot to achieve desired steering friction.
• Turn clockwise for more friction.
• Turn counterclockwise for less friction.

the steering, but not to correct the steering. If excess tightening
given to the bolt may cause damage to the swivel bracket .
