Outboard remote control systems provide the
operator with tools for:
• Starting and stopping the engine
• Shifting into Forward, Neutral, or Reverse
• Changing engine speed
• Changing the tilt/trim angle of the outboard.
The remote control system must include the fol-
lowing features:
• Start-in-gear prevention
• Engine cut–off switch with tether cord —multi-
ple-outboard installations require separate start
switches and a single engine cut–off switch
• Connections for engine monitor warning system
Refer to Engine Monitor System on p. 17.
• If a mechanical remote control is selected:
–shift stroke must be 1.125 to 1.330 in. (28.6 to
33.8 mm) between NEUTRAL and FORWARD
–throttle stroke must PUSH for open
Several remote control options, including both
electronic and mechanical systems, are available
in the Evinrude Genuine Parts and Accesso-
ries catalog.

Remote Control Systems
Electronic shift and throttle remote control sys-
tems manage all engine control functions through
a low-voltage, digital data network.
These systems can only be used with outboards
equipped for electronic control, including Evinrude
E-TEC G2 models.
Refer to the installation instructions provided with
the remote control for detailed instructions.
Refer to Diagrams at the back of this guide, for
sample installations.
WARNING
Remote controls must have start-in-gear pre-
vention. This feature can prevent injuries
resulting from unexpected boat movement
when the outboard starts.
Always install and recommend use of an
engine cut-off switch. Doing so will reduce
the risk of personal injury or death should the
operator fall away from the controls or out of
the boat.
