h.
While holding the Wrap Drum just above the Cable
Gear, and maintaining tension on the Steering
Cables, carefully rotate the Wrap Drum right or left
until the top of the Foot Pedal is parallel with the
deck of the boat. The proper position of the Wrap
Drum will locate the anchors for each of the Steering
Cables equidistant from the mid-line of the Cable
Anchor where it is secured to the Steering Module.
CAUTION
Do not make this adjustment by applying pressure to
the Foot Pedal. Rotate the Wrap Drum manually and use
the Foot Pedal position as a guide to indicate the proper
position of the Wrap Drum.
i.
Once the Foot Pedal is at the desired position,
align the Wrap Drum with the nearest tooth on the
splined shaft of the Cable Gear. Press the Wrap
Drum securely down so that it is seated on top of
the Cable Gear. At this point, the head of the motor
should be parallel with the keel of the boat and the
top of the foot pedal should be parallel with the
deck of the boat.
NOTICE:
The top of the Wrap Drum has rounded
and smooth edges. The bottom of the Wrap Drum is
flat and the teeth that engage the Cable Gear are visible
in the center.

j.
Using a #3 Phillips screwdriver, tighten the Cable
Tension Screw located at the base of the Toe End of
the Foot Pedal to 10 - 12 in-lbs until the Steering
Cables are under tension or re-tighten the same
number of turns as was used in step 4f.
CAUTION
Do not over tighten the Cable Tension Screw, as excessive
tension will cause damage to the unit.
