Rigging information Rigging information Crate top cover The material of the crate top cover, which is used for shipping, has been changed from cardboard to polyethylene (PE). Because the cover is semi-transparent, the contents of the crate can be seen through the cover, which helps to prevent the forklift operator from accidentally damaging the product with the forklift forks.
Bracket unit Bracket unit SBW (Steer by Wire) system Outline The steering system has been changed from a mechanical system that was used for previous models to an electronically controlled power-operated steering system. Because the steering system has been designed with a sufficient margin for use with large boats, the system is responsive and provides a sta- ble feeling when steering the boat.
Bracket unit System diagram When the signals from the steering wheel and joystick are input into the steering control unit (SCU), the SCU uses that information together with the information from other sensors to calculate the optimal steering control and operates the steering motor to match the intended steering angle of the operator. For multiple engine applications, the system controls the steering angle of each outboard motor so that the boat moves in the intended direction.

Bracket unit Structure The steering actuator “1” is an integrated unit with a built-in steering control unit (SCU) and a built-in steering motor and cannot be disassembled. The steering motor, which has an integrated pipe, is lo- cated inside the actuator on one end and a shaft runs through the center of that pipe. The pipe is sup- ported by a bearing on the other end.
Bracket unit Operation When power is supplied to the steering motor inside the steering actuator “1”, the pipe integrated with the motor turns. The rotational speed of the pipe is reduced as it is transmitted through the planetary gears to the shaft in the center of the pipe. Because both ends of the shaft are secured to the swivel bracket, the steering actuator moves 2 mm (0.08 in), which is the internal thread pitch distance, in a straight line in the shaft direction for each turn of the pipe.
Bracket unit Outboard motor manual steering method If the SBW (Steer by Wire) system does not operate due to a malfunction, the outboard motor can be steered manually. Usually, the pipe inside the steering actuator moves as it is turned by the motor force, but when the outboard motor is steered manually, the shaft is turned to move the pipe.
Bracket unit PTT sensor This model is equipped with a PTT sensor that detects the trim and tilt angle of the outboard throughout the full range of movement from fully tilted down to fully tilted up. The end of the pin on the tilt rod fits into the PTT sensor that is installed to the swivel bracket.
Bracket unit PTT TotalTilt™ This outboard motor is equipped with an automatic PTT tilt function. When this function is activated, you can tilt the outboard motor up/down automatically by pressing the switch twice quickly instead of keeping the PTT switch pushed. The PTT TotalTilt™...

Upper case Automatic tilt-down Make sure that all people are clear of the outboard motor when tilting the outboard motor up and down. Body parts can be crushed between the outboard motor and the clamp bracket when the outboard motor is trimmed or tilted. 1.
Lower unit Lower unit Split-type drive shaft For the newly-designed lower unit, a split-type drive shaft has been adopted. The intermediate shaft is secured to the drive shaft component using a screw. The change of the shaft length has enabled the integrated lower unit to support a wider range of transoms.
Lower unit Reverse thrust The outboard motor has a structure that discharges the exhaust gas from above the anti-cavitation plate when the remote control lever is in the R position and the engine speed is 2000 r/min or less. As a result, propeller cavitation can be prevented when the outboard motor is operating in reverse.
Engine ECM Engine ECM PTT protection control PTT protection control system prevents damage to PTT unit, bracket and other related components when the engine speed becomes excessively high while the outboard motor is raised higher than its trim range. The engine speed is limited to the given rpm or below by the system if the PTT sensor output voltage exceeds the specification value.

Tilt limiter Tilt limiter Setting the tilt limiter • Check that the outboard motor is mount- ed on the boat or on a stand securely. • Never get under the outboard motor while it is tilted. If there is interference between the top cowling and the motor well when the outboard motor is tilted up, adjust the setting angle of the tilt lim- iter using the following procedures.
