Steering friction adjuster

A friction device provides adjustable resistance to the steering mechanism, and can be

set according to operator preference. An adjusting screw or bolt is located on the clamp bracket, on the right (starboard) side of the through tube end.

To increase resistance, turn the adjuster clockwise.

To decrease resistance, turn the adjuster counterclockwise.
