ADJUSTMENTS
STEERING ADJUSTMENT
Fig. 12
1. Loosen lock nut Ê .
2. For tighter steering turn the screw clockwise.
3. For looser steering turn the screw counterclockwise.
4. Hold screw in position and tighten lock nut.
The tiller model of the outboard should be adjusted just tight
enough so that the outboard will not try to turn by itself.
The remote steering model should have the steering loosened
just enough to keep all linkage and cables free from binding
and easy to operate.
Note: DO NOT use the friction adjustment screw to
lock the steering. Excessive tightening of the adĆ
justment screw may damage the swivel bracket.
TRANSPORTING
TRAILERING THE OUTBOARD
Before transporting, ensure the outboard is secure. DO
NOT transport with the outboard tilted up! Trailering the
outboard unsecured or in a tilted position may damage
the outboard and/or boat. If attached to the transom,
secure to prevent bounce, tilt, or the possibility of falling
off.
CAUTION
• Secure the outboard in a vertical position when
transporting the outboard while attached to the boat. If
not possible, remove the outboard and secure
elsewhere.
• Use a trailer with adequate clearance to prevent damage
to the outboard from curbs, pavement or other objects.
• It is the OWNER/OPERATOR'S responsibility to secure
the outboard. If attached to the transom when
transporting, secure to prevent bounce, tilt, or the
possibility of falling off.
STORAGE
When the outboard is not going to be in service for an extended
period of time (one month or more), the batteries may still
require periodic maintenance. Battery testing should be
considered an integral part of periodic maintenance during
storage.
Refer to a marine battery manufacturer or dealer for specific
information.
WARNING
Store outboard and batteries in a
clean, dry area. DO NOT store in
same area as a stove, furnace,
water heater, or other appliance
that uses a pilot light or has a
device that can create a spark.
