Introduction

This manual provides guidelines for the installation of the OBC115A,
OBC175A and OBC250A hydraulic steering cylinder for outboard en-
gines.
A hydraulic steering system for outboard engines consists of the fol-
lowing basic components:
• Steering cylinder
• Steering pump
• Hoses
• Steering wheel
Please consult the installation manuals for all components
before using the system .
The quality of installation is decisive for the reliability of the system.
Almost all faults that occur after installation are due to errors or inac-
curacies during installation. It is therefore of utmost importance that
the installation instructions are followed and checked thoroughly.
Unauthorised modifications exclude the factory's liability for
any resulting damage .
