Type R Outboard Steering Cable Link for Mercury 9.9 HP 4-Stroke Outboards - Port

This linkage arm makes the connection between the Type R steering cable and your Mercury 9.9 HP 4-stroke outboard engine.
IntelliSteer Link Arms for Mercury Mariner, Suzuki, and Yamaha engines are available from Fisheries. Link Arm Connectors for other manufacturers are available from your kicker motor dealer.

NOTE — there are port and staboard versions, depending on from which side of the boat the steering cable comes.
Be careful - they are like shoes, so you can't just turn one of them over to use on the other side.

Sitting in the boat facing forward, if the cable comes down the right (starboard) side of the boat to enter the kicker motor tilt tube from the starboard side, you need the starboard link arm.
If the cable comes from the port side of the boat, you need the port link arm.
