Step 1: Steering Friction Adjustment
Tiller models are equipped with a steering friction adjustment. Steering friction is not required when remote steering is used.
Adjust steering friction with outboard mounted to boat by loosening or tightening the adjustment screw. Steering friction should be adjusted so a slight drag is felt when turning.
Do not overtighten. The steering friction screw is not intended to allow “hands off” steering.
TYPICAL
- Steering friction adjustment
Step 2: Throttle Friction Adjustment
Tiller models are equipped with a throttle friction adjustment knob located on the steering handle. Tighten the knob to reduce the effort required to hold a throttle setting.
Turn the knob:
- clockwise to increase friction
- counterclockwise to decrease friction
Tighten knob only enough to hold throttle at a constant engine speed. Overtightening will prevent quick throttle change in case of emergency.
