🔌 Function

Carries the steering movement into the drive unit, holding the drive's angular position against the loads coming back from the water.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Play, slop or a dead spot felt at the helm
• Steering heavy, notchy or uneven from lock to lock
• Groaning or knocking from the transom area when turning
• Bearings or bushes found worn, corroded or dry on strip-down
• Water ingress and corrosion inside the housing

🛠️ Service Notes

• Steering is safety related - do not run the boat with known play, and have the work checked before returning to service
• Renew the seals and bearings with the unit and establish how water got in, since corrosion is the usual root cause
• Check the steering actuator and its mountings at the same time, as play there feels identical at the helm
