NOTE:
If the sailboat does not move straight ahead
when engine is locked with the steering lock
lever and the boat's rudder is set straight, re-

If the engine is forced to turn right or left
when the steering is locked, the steering

screw and replace the plate.
NOTE:
A spare plate is contained in the outboard's
