The hydraulic steering system is used primarily on
boats with inboard engines such as the 340 DA. Strict
adherence to the following guidelines must be followed
to ensure safe recreational boating.
!
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.
Periodically remove the plug in the helm unit and check
the oil level visually. The oil level should be within 1/2"
(1-1/4 cm) of the filler hole.

The system must be filled with hydraulic oil
meeting Mil Spec H-5606 A. Refer to steering system
owner's information in the owner's packet for specific
hydraulic oils that can be used.
Periodically check the mechanical connections and
linkages at the cylinder. Replace worn parts, tighten
loose parts and lubricate as needed. The steering
system is protected against over-pressure situations
by a pressure relief valve. Sometimes when returning
the wheel from a hard-over position, a slight resistance
may be felt and a clicking noise may be heard. This is
a completely normal situation caused by the releasing
of the lockspool in the system.
REFER TO OWNER'S MANUAL PACKET FOR
INSTRUCTIONS AND WARRANTY INFORMATION.
