The helm transfers rotary motion of the steering wheel to linear
motion in the cable which pushes or pulls the rudder. Nautique
rudders are equipped with an adjustable trim tab under license
from Z-Marine (U.S. patent 5,746,147) to compensate for the
torque generated by the propeller.
Maintenance for the steering system is minimal because there are
few serviceable parts. The rack and pinion for the system is
lubricated and sealed during manufacturing. It is the responsibility
of the owner/operator to inspect the steering system frequently.
If you experience difficulty in steering, refer to Section 8 - Care and
Maintenance.
Section 4
Correct Craft, Inc.
An out of control boat could cause injury
or death. DO NOT operate your boat if you suspect the
steering system is malfunctioning. Have your Correct
Craft Dealer investigate any steering system
irregularities immediately.
