Mechanical Remote Control Systems
Mechanical remote control systems typically use
push/pull cables to physically move the shift and
throttle components on the outboard.
A mechanical remote control may be used with
Evinrude E-TEC G2 model outboards, however
an accessory mechanical to digital converter is
required for correct operation of the outboard.
Mechanical to Digital Converter
The mechanical to digital converter converts the
mechanical shift and throttle inputs to digital con-
trol signals used by the engine management sys-
tems.
Refer to the installation instructions provided with
the mechanical to digital converter for detailed
instructions.
Refer to Mechanical Remote Controls on
p. 128.
Remote Control Installation
Refer to Remote Control Installation on p. 28,
and follow all instructions provided with the
remote control.
Use the accessory power connector provided in
the remote control harness to connect any boat
accessories. Accessories connected to the acces-
sory power connector should not exceed 5 amps.
Information Display Networks
Engine Monitor System
All remote controlled outboards must be equipped
with an engine monitor system. An engine monitor
system alerts the operator of conditions that could
damage the outboard.
The engine monitor system includes sensors on
the outboard and oil tank, a warning horn, a dash-
mounted display, and related wiring.
The outboard’s EMM sends information about
monitored functions to:
• Digital gauges and displays.
• a SystemCheck gauge (REQUIRES a digital to
analog converter).
IMPORTANT: Operating the outboard without
an engine monitor will void the warranty for failures
related to monitored functions.
Digital Gauges and Displays
Digital displays are designed specifically for
NMEA 2000 certified Evinrude E-TEC G2 out-
boards. These displays provide enhanced engine
and boat performance information. Multiple func-
tions are integrated into the easy-to-use displays.
Additional displays and accessories can be added
with the plug and play design.
NMEA 2000 digital networks receive monitored
information through a NMEA 2000 buss cable
connection provided in the outboard.
Digital displays may be used with electronic shift
and throttle or mechanical remote control sys-
tems.
