ENGINE OR TRANSMISSION DAMAGE.

Steering System Maintenance

A periodic inspection of all steering hoses, linkage and helm

assemblies should be made. Signs of corrosion, cracking,

loosening of fastenings, excessive wear, or deterioration should

be corrected immediately.

Generally, periodic lubrication of all moving parts and con

nections with a light waterproof grease is in order. Failure to

do so could lead to steering system failure that would result

in loss of control.

Check the hydraulic hoses and ﬁttings for chafﬁng, rub marks

and leaks. Replace if necessary.

The power steering system is equipped with a spin on cartridge

stye oil ﬁlter that keeps the system free from contaminants.

The ﬁlter should be changed at 50 hours and once a year

thereafter.

The steering ﬂuid level in the reservoir should be checked

frequently and maintained at or near the maximum level. The

pressure in the reservoir also should be checked and kept at 25

to 35 PSI. If steering ﬂuid is required, make sure you relive

the pressure in the reservoir and follow the instructions in the

steering system owner’s manual exactly. A bicycle pump can

be used to pressurize the system.

When new, or after repairs, hydraulic steering systems may

need to have all air purged from the system. Only use hydraulic

steering ﬂuid recommended by the steering system manufac

turer. Difﬁcult steering and premature seal failure can result

if the wrong ﬂuid is used in the steering system. Review the

information provided by the steering system manufacturer

for proper speciﬁcations and details on system service and

maintenance.

The boat also should be inspected periodically for leakage

around the rudder ports. The rudder ports contain a lip seal

that provides 100% water tight operation. The seals are self-

lubricating and require no maintenance. If a rudder port is

found to be leaking, please contact your Albemarle dealer or

the Albemarle Customer Service Department.

If the rudders have to be removed for any reason, the red plastic

seal protector must be used to prevent the keyway in the rud

der shaft from damaging the lip seal in the rudder port. The

seal protectors are shipped with the boat. Always inspect the

rudder ports for leakage when the boat is launched and at least

once a month thereafter.
