The steering system is an enclosed push-pull cable
that is hydraulically assisted (power steering) at the
stern drive end (Fig. 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.

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.
