🔌 Function

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Slack or lost motion at the helm before the drive begins to turn
• Knocking from the transom area as the wheel is reversed
• Attachment points worn oval or elongated
• Corrosion swelling in the cable bore so the cable binds
• Steering stiff at one end of its travel

🛠️ Service Notes

• The catalogue names the DP-E drive while our own fitment list runs across DP-C, DP-D, SP and the AD, D and TMD engines, so confirm the drive designation before ordering
• Grease the cable bore and moving faces on assembly, and check the cable end for the same wear
• Steering movement is a safety item - check for free play at the helm after fitting and before the boat is used
• Listed only for DP-E drives that do not have power steering
