B.Power Steering

The power steering system is an enclosed push-pull cable that is hydraulically assisted (power steering) at the stern drive end (Fig. 3.7.1).

The cable and its connections to the steering wheel and to the out drive must be inspected at least twice a year by your Baja® dealer.

The power steering pump fluid level MUST be checked every time prior to using the boat. Refer to the steering system information in your Owner’s Packet.
