MAINTENANCE

d. Lubricate the sealing ring on the filter with oil. Thread on

the filter and tighten securely by hand. Reconnect the wire

to the filter.

IMPORTANT: Visually inspect for fuel leakage from the filter by

squeezing the primer bulb until firm, forcing fuel into the filter.

Steering Link Rod Fasteners

IMPORTANT: The steering link rod that connects the steering

cable to the engine must be fastened using special washer head

bolt ("a" ‑ Part Number 10‑849838) and self‑locking nylon insert

locknuts ("c" & "d" ‑ Part Number 11‑826709113). These locknuts

must never be replaced with common nuts (non‑locking) as they

will work loose and vibrate off freeing the link rod to disengage.

WARNING

Improper fasteners or improper installation procedures can result

in loosening or disengagement of the steering link rod. This can

cause a sudden, unexpected loss of boat control, resulting in

serious injury or death due to occupants being thrown within or

out of the boat. Always use required components and follow

instructions and torque procedures.
