🔌 Function

The link rod connects elements of the steering linkage so that helm movement is carried through to the sterndrive's steering arm. It maintains a fixed, load-bearing geometric relationship between the steering mechanism and the drive unit.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Excessive play or slop felt at the helm before the drive responds
• Visible corrosion, pitting or bending of the rod
• Worn or elongated end joints causing knocking under steering load
• Stiff, notchy or uneven steering effort
• Vibration or wandering at the helm while under way

🛠️ Service Notes

• Fitted across a wide AD31/41/42, D41, TMD31, TAMD31 and KAD42 range of sterndrive installations — check the specific engine and SP or DP drive combination against the fitment list rather than assuming interchange
• Check the linkage pivots and retaining clips for wear at the same time, and confirm the drive steers fully to both stops after fitting
