The knee gear plays a role in transferring movement through the steering assembly, and when it starts to wear, you’ll notice looseness or uneven movement. I’ve seen these wear down over time, especially on engines that see a lot of use. When it’s in good condition, steering feels solid and controlled.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"518\" data-end=\"521\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"14at72t\" data-start=\"523\" data-end=\"540\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"542\" data-end=\"999\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"544\" data-end=\"576\"\u003eSteering Movement Transfer –\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps translate steering input through the bracket assembly.\u003cbr data-start=\"637\" data-end=\"640\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"642\" data-end=\"670\"\u003eGenuine Yamaha Fitment –\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed to match factory steering components precisely.\u003cbr data-start=\"727\" data-end=\"730\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"732\" data-end=\"765\"\u003eSupports Steering Stability –\u003c\/strong\u003e Helps maintain smooth and controlled engine movement.\u003cbr data-start=\"819\" data-end=\"822\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"824\" data-end=\"855\"\u003eDurable Gear Construction –\u003c\/strong\u003e Built to handle load, movement, and marine conditions.\u003cbr data-start=\"910\" data-end=\"913\"\u003e• \u003cstrong data-start=\"915\" data-end=\"946\"\u003ePrecision Machined Design –\u003c\/strong\u003e Ensures proper fitment within the steering system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1001\" data-end=\"1004\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 data-section-id=\"1b7w7ff\" data-start=\"1006\" data-end=\"1038\"\u003eEngine \u0026amp; Boat Compatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1040\" data-end=\"1153\"\u003eCompatible with select Yamaha outboards using this knee gear.
