Section 8 • Required Inspection, Service, &

Maintenance

Check fuel lines for damage and/or leaks. Make sure that they do not come into contact with moving parts.

Check Carbon Monoxide detector to see if operational

6.Security Considerations

Be conscious of the security of your boat. Always remove the keys from the ignition, lock hatches, lock the cabin door, remove and stow any removable electronic gear (fishfinders, LORAN, etc.) and personal gear (fishing poles, etc.) normally left aboard your boat.

7.Power Steering System Maintenance

Lubricate the control valve on the power steering cylinder through the grease fitting with multipurpose lubricant until grease appears around the rubber boot.

Coat power assist steering output shaft and exposed steering cable end with appropriate lubricant.

Lubricate cable end guide pivot point with SAE 30W engine oil.

Check power steering fluid level in the power steering pump reservoir.

Inspect all hydraulic hoses for leaks. Keep hoses from rubbing on moving parts and from contact

with hot engine parts.

Check all fittings, clamps, and bolts for tightness every month.

Check power steering pump drive belt for wear and proper tension every month. Do not overtighten belt. This can cause bearing failure.

REFER TO THE ENGINE OPERATOR’S MANUAL FOR PROPER FLUID LEVELS AND LUBRICANTS.

Baja® Marine recommends that all repairs and/or replacements to steering systems be made by qualified dealers authorized by manufacturer of the steering system of your boat.
