Full title and description

ISO 9775:1990 — Small craft — Remote steering systems for single outboard motors of 15 kW to 40 kW power. This International Standard specifies requirements and test methods for remote push-pull cable steering systems and their major component items used on small craft with a single outboard motor in the 15 kW to 40 kW power range.

Abstract

Specifies definitions, installation requirements, test requirements (including as‑installed and component tests), and outboard motor requirements for push‑pull cable remote steering systems; includes figures showing components and functional details. Intended to ensure safe, reliable remote steering for single‑outboard small craft within the stated power range.

General information

• Status: Withdrawn (withdrawal recorded 14 December 2020).
• Publication date: Published December 1990 (published 20 December 1990).
• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
• ICS / categories: 47.080 — Small craft.
• Edition / version: Edition 1 (1990).
• Number of pages: 9.

Scope

Applies to remote push‑pull cable steering systems and their major component items installed on small craft with a single outboard motor having power between 15 kW and 40 kW. The standard covers terminology, installation guidance, required performance and durability tests (both component and system as‑installed), and minimum retained performance criteria after testing.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and terminology for remote steering systems and components.
• Installation requirements and recommended arrangements for push‑pull cable systems.
• Performance and endurance test methods (component tests and as‑installed system tests).
• Requirements for outboard motor interface and compatibility with steering systems.
• Acceptance criteria, including minimum retained steering arc/performance after tests.

Typical use and users

Used by small craft designers and manufacturers, marine component suppliers (steering cables, helms, linkages), naval architects, boat builders, test laboratories, conformity assessment bodies, marine surveyors and installers to design, test and verify remote steering systems for single‑outboard craft in the 15–40 kW range. Also referenced by regulatory and classification organizations when evaluating steering installations.

Related standards

ISO 9775:1990 has been withdrawn and the subject has been updated in later documents — notably ISO 8848:2020 and ISO 23411:2020, which provide current guidance/replacements for remote steering system requirements. Regional/adopted versions and related small‑craft steering documents (national/adopted standards and EN variants) reference or build on the original ISO work.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 9775:1990 is an International Standard that specified requirements and test methods for remote push‑pull cable steering systems for small craft with a single outboard motor rated 15 kW to 40 kW.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers definitions, installation guidance, component and as‑installed tests, outboard motor interfacing requirements, and acceptance criteria to ensure minimum retained steering performance after testing.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Boat designers and manufacturers, suppliers of steering components, test labs, marine surveyors, and conformity assessment bodies use the standard when designing, supplying, installing or verifying remote steering systems for the specified outboard power range.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: ISO 9775:1990 was withdrawn (withdrawal recorded 14 December 2020) and users should refer to the later standards ISO 8848:2020 and ISO 23411:2020 for current requirements.

Q: Is it part of a series?
