If you hit any object:
– STOP immediately and examine
the outboard for loosening of at-
taching hardware.
– INSPECT for damage to swivel
and stern brackets, and steering
components.
– EXAMINE the boat for structural
damage.
– TIGHTEN any loosened hardware.
If the collision occurred in the water,
proceed slowly to harbor. Before boat-
ing again, have your Dealer thor-
oughly inspect all components.
If your engine will not trim to the fully
DOWN position, it may have impacted
38
an underwater object. See the SERV-
ICE NOTE .

Your outboard may be equipped with
Dynamic Power Steering (DPS). DPS
offers three power steering assist
levels.
P P o o w w e e r r S S t t e e e e r r i i n n g g A A s s s s i i s s t t L L e e v v e e l l s s
All power steering assist levels pro-
vide the same rate of assist at engine
speeds below 4500 RPM.
As engine speed increases above
4500 RPM, assist levels progressively
decrease.
The factory default assist level is "Min-
imum". Use the Evinrude ICON-Touch
or ICON-CS digital display to change
the power steering assist level to "Me-
dium" or "Maximum".

If your boat is not equipped with an
ICON -digital display, your Dealer must
use Evinrude Diagnostic software to
change the power steering assist
level.
