STEERING
Under certain power trim positions of the outboard
motor, there can be a noticeable pull on the steering
wheel. This is often referred to as “steering torque.”
The position of the outboard motor’s trim tab affects
the amount of steering torque. See your outboard
motor operator’s manual for adjustment of the trim tab.
Under any circumstances, the operator should always
keep a firm, continuous grip on the steering wheel.
The owner/operator must inspect the steering system
frequently.
• For Cable Steering, check for smooth, free, full
range operation and steering components not worn
or loose.
• For Hydraulic Steering, the fluid level should be
checked periodically to determine the correct level.
Your Skeeter Dealer should investigate any steering
system irregularities immediately. DO NOT continue
to operate the boat if the steering system is
malfunctioning.
