When trailering or storing a boat equipped with an Optimus EPS
system, install the steering lock clips to all steering cylinders as
shown below. These clips keep the engines from drifting, preventing
contact with other components which may result in scuffing or
cowling damage. Simply center the engines and snap the clips over
the cylinder shafts to install.

Alternatively, or if the clips are not available, steer the engines all
the way to one side after tilting them up. The weight of the engines
will keep them from shifting.
