3. tighten again the stop nut with a torque of 20[Nm] (15[lb∙ft]) until the washer comes into contact with it.
Screw the hoses on the cylinder fittings with a torque of 20[Nm] (15[lb∙ft]) according to the following instructions:
-
minimum hose bend radius 250 mm;
-
no interference during engine tilting;

no interference with the transom;
NOTICE
In case of systems with more than one engine, identify the port cylinder
and the starboard cylinder and their connections to distinguish them easily
if necessary.

cause a bad operation of the system. In this case it is necessary to replace
the damaged hose.
