8 Steering cable and spent tube
• Route the steering cable through the boat from helm position to
outboard motor.
The spent tube (1) protects the inner cable
against the surrounding equipment and visa
versa.
• The protective hose (2), for transport purposes
only, can now be removed and discarded.
9 Entering cable
• Loosen the 4 locking screws, 2 per cable entrance; step 1 and 2.
• Feed the inner cable through the helm unit while turning the
steering wheel to pull cable end to inside the rotary assembly.
• Check steering direction, making sure that when wheel is
turned to the right, the boat will turn to the right.
• Install spent tube cable cover by slipping it over the cable end.
• Insert the cable jacket end and the spent tube end into the helm
unit; step 3
• Tighten the locking screws as indicated; step 4 and 5.

10 Installing the cable

Take note of the following when installing the cable:
- Ensure the correct (total) cable length is used.
- Make as few loops as possible in the cable and make the bend-
ing radius as large as possible (at least 20 cm (8")). Using a smaller
bending radius will cause excessive wear on the outer cable.
- The cable must be clamped at regular intervals (every 90 cm (3 ft)).
- Do not install the cable too close to heat sources.
- Prevent cable from chafing.
- After installation, check that the cable can be moved without sig-
nificant resistance.
11 Installing cable end on tiller
• Connect end of cable to tiller of motor using one of the connec-
tion kits. See pages 26 - 29 for installation.
• Reinforce transom or bulkhead at location where mounting
brackets are to be installed if required.
• Bring if required the centre position of the steering wheel in ac-
cordance with the centre position of the tiller. Check steering di-
rection.
