Steering friction adjuster

A friction device provides adjustable resis-
tance to the steering mechanism, and can be
set according to operator preference. An ad-
juster lever is located on the bottom of the til-
ler handle bracket.
To increase resistance, turn the lever to the
port side "A".
To decrease resistance, turn the lever to the
starboard side "B".
