October, 1966
Dealer Letter #149
SUBJECT: 1967 - 40 H.P. STEERING BRACKET
ON MODELS: RD, RDS, RK-29, 40 H.P.
The steering brackets as were installed on the first 1967 motors have been modified to afford additional clearance for tiller cable pulleys.
The 1/2" offset has been eliminated and all motors now produced have flat brackets. (See illustration)
We are replacing all the original brackets because we have noted some degree of interference due to pulley location on various boat models. We do not recommend modification of the original brackets in the field as an untrue mounting surface may result in the bracket working loose.
Use the enclosed form to order your requirements to convert all units either previously installed or in stock.
