Cosmetic Care & Maintenance
STEERING
Your vessel uses rack or rotary style steering systems that
feature a mechanical cable with assistance through the
engine power steering pump. As you turn the wheel force
is applied through the system to a hydraulic cylinder
attached at the aft engine and through the engine power
steering pump hoses.
With the engine running, check the engine power steering
pump levels before each outing. Add the appropriate power
steering fluid. Periodically inspect the entire steering
system for tightness and signs of wear and leaks including
the steering wheel. Lubricate the steering shaft at the
engine. Refer to the manufacturer's engine manual for
additional information along with the maintenance chart
in this chapter.
