Checking Power-Assisted Power Steering System - Regal LS4 Owner's Manual

Checking Power-Assisted Power Steering System

Your outboard may feature a mechanical-hydraulic
rack style power assisted steering system. The
unit utilizes valves which permit hydraulic fl uid to
pass through the system allowing the steering
arm at the outboard to turn the vessel to port
or starboard. This check valve cluster is located
behind the steering wheel. The hardware at both
the helm and engine ends must be checked
regularly for tightness, lubrication, and leaks. Check
the steering system for full steering to port and
starboard before disembarking. Typical hydraulic
pump shown below. Locations may vary by model.
Refer to your outboard motor operator's manual for
adding fl uid to the pump and type required.
