Tiller Handle Steering Friction, is it needed?

[stjernefodt]

Greetings everyone. I ordered a Multi-function Tiller Handle for my new Yamaha F50.

I understand that I need these parts:

6X4-42101-01-00 Main Tiller Handle
6X4-42102-21-00 Fitting Kit

But I also came across a "Tiller Steering Friction Assembly" kit, part # is 6C5-42508-00-00 . Do I also need this to install the tiller?

And you can see the breakdown here:

Thanks for the help in advance!
