NOTE: These instructions are for single cable-single
outboard installations. Instructions for mounting dual
engines are included with the applicable dual engine
attaching kit. Refer to " Quicksilver Accessories
Guide"to determine correct kit.
Refer to " Quicksilver Accessories Guide" to deter-
mine correct length of steering cable.
IMPORTANT: Steering cable must be correct
length. Sharp bends on too-short of a cable re-
sult in "kinks;"too-long of a cable require unnec-
essary bends and/or loops. Both conditions
place extra stress on the cable.

dance with installation instructions that accompany
each.
