SINGLE/DUAL CABLE & DRIVE ASSEMBLY
THE BACK MOUNT RACK SYSTEM
INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLER: THESE INSTRUCTIONS CONTAIN IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION AND MUST BE FORWARDED TO THE BOAT OWNER.
CABLE ROUTING
Steering cables, if possible, should be routed to the starboard side of
the boat in order to balance engine torque. When routing the steering
cable, select a path with as few bends as possible and as gradual as
possible. A MINIMUM BEND RADIUS OF 8" MUST BE
MAINTAINED. WHERE CONDITIONS DICTATE, ONE BEND IN THE
CABLES IMMEDIATELY AT THE HELM CAN BE A 6' RADIUS, BUT
SHOULD BE AVOIDED, IF POSSIBLE. Sharp or frequent bends will
result in hard steering and premature cable wear. When it is necessary
to pass through a bulkhead, a 1½” diameter hole is required. Cable(s)
should be clamped or tied at regular intervals for support.
WARNING
BEFORE STARTING INSTALLATION: THOROUGHLY READ THESE
INSTRUCTIONS – AS WELL AS THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED BY
THE ENGINE MANUFACTURER. FAILURE TO FOLLOW EITHER OF
THESE INSTRUCTIONS, OR INCORRECT ASSEMBLY, CAN RESULT
IN LOSS OF CONTROL AND CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE OR
INJURY.
DO NOT SUBSTITUTE PARTS FROM OTHER MANUFACTURERS,
AS THEY MAY CAUSE A SAFETY HAZARD FOR WHICH TELEFLEX
INC., USA CANNOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY.
TO AVOID EXCESSIVE STEERING LOADS, AND TO GET THE BEST
STEERING PERFORMANCE, THE OUTBOARD MOTOR OR
OUTDRIVE TRIM TABS AND TILT POSITION MUST BE ADJUSTED
AS INSTRUCTED IN THE MOTOR MANUFACTURER’S OPERATION
MANUAL. FAILURE TO DO SO CAN AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE
OF THE BOAT AND ITS SAFE OPERATION.
First install the helm mounting plate (supplied with the bezel kit) to the
dashboard according to the instructions packed with the helm. If
installing the optional tilt steering system, then install the tilt mounting
plate (supplied with the helm) according to instructions packed with the
helm.
NOTE: CABLE AND DRIVE ASSEMBLIES ARE SUPPLIED
LUBRICATED AND READY FOR INSTALLATION. DO NOT ADD ANY
LUBRICANT TO EITHER ASSEMBLY. USE OF OTHER LUBRICANTS
CAN CAUSE DAMAGE TO THE STEERING CABLE, RESULTING IN
THE CABLE SEIZING OR PREMATURE WEAR. KEEP THE CABLE
AND DRIVE ASSEMBLY CLEAN DURING INSTALLATION, AS DIRT
WILL DAMAGE THE SYSTEM AND CAUSE PREMATURE WEAR.
WARNING
CABLE AND DRIVE ASSEMBLIES MUST NOT BE DISASSEMBLED
FOR ANY REASON. REASSEMBLY MAY LEAD TO TOTAL
FAILURE OF THE SYSTEM, WHICH COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY
DAMAGE OR PERSONAL INJURY.
CAUTION: CABLE(S) MUST NOT BE BUNDLED
TOGETHER
WITH ELECTRICAL WIRING. CABLE(S) MUST NOT REST
ON SHARP EDGES WHICH CAN CAUSE CHAFING.
BOLTS & WASHERS
FROM HELM KIT
Mount the helm/cable and drive assembly to the helm (or the optional tilt)
mounting plate, following the instructions packed with the helm.
INSTALLING CABLE AND DRIVE ASSEMBLY
Place the cable and drive assembly on top of the helm unit taking care
that the pinion gear of helm unit meshes with gear teeth on rack. Turn
helm shaft to accomplish this. Fasten cable and drive assembly to rack
using (4) ¼-20 x 1” long locking patch bolts and (4) ½” OD flat washers
provided with the helm (see Figure 1). Make sure the washers are under
the head of the bolt. Tighten all 4 bolts equally and securely.
(8" MINIMUM ELSEWHERE)
