Closing the Steering System Housing
-
Apply a light layer of synthetic or marine grade, general-purpose grease to the black rubber seal
around the shaft-carrier opening in the steering system housing.
- Set the top of the steering system on a table or workbench with the shaft carrier and servo motor pointing up.
-
Make sure the gasket
is installed in the groove around the perimeter of the upper steering system housing.
-
Place the bottom of the steering system housing over the shaft carrier, and lower it onto the top of the steering system housing.
NOTE: You may need to start by connecting the back parts of the housing first, and rotate the front of the housing into place.
- Keeping the steering system upside down, install one or two of the screws to hold the parts together.
- Turn the steering system over, and install the rest of the screws.
- Tighten all of the screws to 5 N-m (43 lbf-in).
