! WARNING
Failure of the steering system will cause loss of
control of your boat. Any change in steering such as
looseness, tightness, binding, etc., must be checked
immediately by your Sea Ray dealer.
The steering system is an enclosed push-pull cable
that is hydraulically assisted (power steering) at the
stern drive end (Figure 3.6.4 & 3.6.5). THE CABLE
AND ITS CONNECTIONS TO THE STEERING
WHEEL AND TO THE OUT DRIVE MUST BE
INSPECTED AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR BY YOUR
SEA RAY DEALER. See section 8 of this manual
for inspection, service and maintenance
recommendations.
The power steering pump (Figure 3.6.5) fluid level
MUST be checked every time prior to using the
boat. Refer to the steering system information in
your Owner's Packet.
