About 7 Years ago there was a bad crash from the steering bolt sheering off. We all got a reminder then to check the bolt with Sea Star steering. This bolt should be stamped ARP TFX on the head of it. Check yours and if it doesn't have this special high strength bolt you might try and order or find one to install. I found one at my local merc store. Your steering is held together with one single bolt. For 5 or 10 bucks what ever they are priced at now this bolt will save your life!! Just thought its been a while since anyone has brought this up and its so vital to our saftey i thought I would again for anyone who hasn't heard of it.
Hear is what happens when your steering just has a normal bolt NOT the high strength ARP stamped one.
