handling. The wheel spins easier at low speeds,
further reducing driver effort.
For reliability the steering system is built with
redundancy on several levels. Consult engine opera-
tor's manual for specific information.
E. Tilt Steering
When equipped with tilt steering, the steering wheel
can be tilted up or down so as to enhance the driver's
comfort and enjoyment. To tilt the steering wheel,
depress the release lever (adjusting tab) with your
thumb to tilt the steering wheel. Be sure to hold the
top of the wheel to assist in positioning. Release the
lever once the steering wheel is in the position
desired. See Figures G2 and G3. Refer to the steer ing
manufactur er's literature, included in the owner's
packet, for additional infor ma tion.

The tilt mechanism should not be adjust ed
when the boat is moving. Sudden boat
movement may cause loss of bal ance resulting
in loss of control and/or injury.
The tilt mechanism is spring loaded. Due to the
variation in steering wheel offerings, the wheel
may spring up rapid ly when depressing the
release lever. Always keep one hand on the
wheel during tilt adjustment to prevent possible
damage to tilt mechanism and/or possible
injury.

RUDDERS - Inboard Models

On inboard models, the dual V-drives have two
rudders. These are coupled together at the tiller arms
by a tie bar. The rudders are toed-in at the front to
provide maximum stability on straight ahead runs and
proper tracking through corners. Rudder alignment is
preset at the Four Winns factory. Further alignment
adjustments should not be necessary unless the
rudder or steering system incurs damage. Should
adjustments be necessary, they should be performed
only by a qualified service technician. See Figures G4,
& G5.
Rudder Alignment Procedures:
1. Dimension A must be 1/2" to 3/4" larger than
dimension B.
2. Dimension A & B must be measured between the
inside faces and at the bottom of the rudders.
