- 1). Take note of which side of the outboard's tilt tube the steering cable enters, and turn the motor the other way. For example, if the cable enters the starboard side of the tilt tube, turn the motor toward the port side of the boat.
- 2). Pull the cable just tight enough to fit the cable end onto the end of the steering link rod. When the cable end is attached to the steering link rod, thread the lock nut onto the steering link rod. Tighten the lock nut securely with an adjustable wrench.
- 3). Grasp the end of the cable that attaches to the helm and pull it just tight enough to reach the attachment point on the helm. Install the cable sheath to the helm and push the cotter pin through the hole in the end of the cable.
