This report represents an in-depth study of the hazards and problems associated with outboard recreational boat steering and control systems. Emphasis is placed on the steering systems. Problem identification work is documented with a review of Coast Guard accident statistics and defect notification files. In addition, manufacturer warranty and liability files are summarized along with a field survey of suspect steering systems, accident investigations, and interviews with marine mechanics. Operational tests have been performed with instrumented test boats to document the level of loadings placed on a steering system both during normal operation and extreme maneuvering situations. Results of laboratory tests on steering systems and their accessories are discussed. Finally, the effectiveness and reliability of steering systems are assessed and compared to the industry-developed standard for outboard steering systems. (Author)
