If you'll look in my albums under my profile, I have added photos and a description on how I corrected the friction lock issue on my Tohatsu Sail-Pro.
I can tell you the modification I came up to correct the ineffective steering friction lock issue on my new Tohatsu 6 HP Sail-Pro has been very successful I believe. After I installed the modification we motored for 4 hours from the ramp to the slip at our friends home, and the outboard remained in the position I had her pointed. Most recently we attended the C-22 Fall Cruise. We did a lot of motoring, probably 80% or more of the 118 miles we covered during the week cruise, and the engine remained in her adjusted position. We now have over 80 hours on the engine, and I believe the modification has been a success.
When you look at the album, the photos appear first, followed by the write up and the corresponding photo number.
