WARNING
Do not overtighten the steering friction ad-
juster. If there is too much resistance, it
could be difficult to steer, which could re-
sult in an accident.
The steering friction adjuster provides adjust-
able resistance to the steering mechanism,
and can be set according to operator prefer-
ence. The steering friction adjuster is located
on the port side of the outboard motor.
1. Steering friction adjuster
To increase resistance, turn the steering fric-
tion adjuster clockwise.
To decrease resistance, turn the steering fric-
tion adjuster counterclockwise.

sition.

verse position, the tilt lock mechanism oper-
ates to prevent the outboard motor from
