MARINE 109600 Panther XPS GEN 2 Power Steering
The new Panther Power Steering is designed specially for pontoons and can be installed anywhere a single cable steering system is used.
Locate a space to mount the pump and accumulator that has enough room to route hoses and wiring. The most popular area to mount the pump and accumulator is in a compartment under the seats near the back of the pontoon. Benefits of mounting near the back are:
- Close to the outboard motor
- Close to the battery
- Shorter hose length
- Less Panther Power Steering Fluid
- (Hoses longer than 8’ require additional steering fluid)
Measure the distance between the pump and outboard motor to determine the hose
length needed.
Note: The minimum bend radius for the hoses is 2”
Use the 4 drilled and tapped holes in the front of the motor to bolt on the
10-9119 cylinder mounting bracket Note: Different motor brands use different
bolt threads.
Mercury and Honda use 10-0191 ¼-28 threaded bolts Yamaha and Suzuki use
10-0217 6MM threaded bolts
- 10-9119 Cylinder mounting bracket qty1
- 10-0193 Locking tabs qty-2
- Bolts qty-4 (10-0191 10-0217)
Torque the 4 mounting bolts to 110 inch Lbs.
After torqueing bolts fold over corners of locking tabs to lock bolts in
place.
- 10-9420 Cylinder qty-1
- 10-0192 ¼-28 locking nuts qty-4
- 10-0228 Cylinder support bracket qty-1

- Steering cable
- 3/8-24 standard locking nut
- 63OD x .39ID x .062 washer qty-2
- 10-9032 cable link arm
It is critical that the .75OD x .39ID x .032 washer (detail #3) is installed
between the cylinder actuator arm and the 109032 cable link arm.
Note: failure to install washer properly will result in binding and will
increase steering effort.

Note: Use the .75OD x .39ID x .062, .75OD x .39ID x .031 washers under the 10-9029 motor link if “necessary” to eliminate any binding caused from any tolerance misalignment.

Once you completed the electrical, motor linkage and hose installation it is time to fill the power steering fluid reservoir.
-
Remove the yellow cap
-
Fill the reservoir using 10-0205 Panther power steering fluid.
-
Replace the yellow cap
-
Power the system up
Note: The system is self priming. No need to bleed system -
Turn the steering wheel in both directions
Note: Steering effort should not be more then fingertip.
If the steering effort is more then fingertip inspect the motor linkage for any binding and adjust accordingly using the washers ( refer to slide 8 ) -
Once the system has purged turn power off
-
Remove yellow cap
-
Check the power steering fluid level.
Note: The power steering fluid level should be approx. 1/2” from the top of the reservoir. If the reservoir is completely full it could overflow when the cylinder is fully retracted. -
Top off the power steering fluid if needed.
-
Power the system up
-
Check all connections for any leaks
