6.1.3.1. Checking and topping up oil  

The safety of the boat depends on effective steering. Check the oil level in the pump before casting off.

Hydraulic oil is added to the steering system via the filling plug in the steering wheel pump. The oil level must be approximately 10 mm below the filler hole.

See the manufacturer's manual for the steering system oil recommendation. For steering systems provided by engine manufacturer,  see the engine manufacturer's instructions.
