Steering Systems

Mechanical Cables

Evinrude E-TEC G2 models with the TRAC+ mid-
section are compatible with mechanical steering
systems that meet ABYC Standard P-17. Sin-
gle-cable mechanical steering systems can be
used on single or dual-outboard installations if an
ABYC-approved steering link is used.
IMPORTANT:
Use an hydraulic steering system
with an external hydraulic steering cylinder to help
provide firm steering control in high perfor-
mance/high speed applications.
Extend the steering cable and lubricate the inner
core before installation.
IMPORTANT:
Install steering cable through tilt
tube before mounting outboard on transom. Tight-
en nut securely.
Drag Link
Use Steering Connector Kit, P/N 5009794, to
allow full steering travel.
Install cable wiper nut on tilt tube and connect
drag link to the correct location on the steering
arm.

Hydraulic Steering

Hydraulic steering systems use hydraulic fluid to
transfer motion and load from the helm to the out-
board.
Use only a hydraulic steering system designed for
the specific application. Refer to the steering sys-
tem manufacturer's specifications for recom-
mended applications.
TRAC+ Midsection
Evinrude E-TEC G2 models with the TRAC+ mid-
section are compatible with hydraulic steering sys-
tems which use an external hydraulic steering
cylinder. Refer to Outboard Rigging on p. 59.
