Steering Failure—Single‑Engine Applications
If the steering system fails on a single‑engine boat, the gearcase can be
steered using the following emergency procedure.
IMPORTANT: This procedure should only be performed on single‑engine
boats. On multiple engine boats, raise the propeller out of the water and use
the other engines to return to port. Failure to raise the propeller out of the water
on multiple‑engine applications can cause potential drive collision.
1. Turn off the engine, and open the hood. Refer to Maintenance ‑ Hood
Opening.
2. Locate the steering bypass lever on the starboard side of the engine.
3. Remove the pin and pull up on the bypass lever to open the bypass valve.
