Author	Topic:   Teleflex Maintenance
prm1177	posted 03-26-2004 01:58 PM ET (US)         Is there any maintenance that should be done to a Teleflex NFB steering system? Boat has about 100 hours on it, but is a model year 1997. Lubrication, replacement, etc?

This wil save headaches and replacemets in the future. It keeps your steering fom freezing up after periods of inactivity. Dave
