ICON II Remote Controls
Beginning with AFA model 200 H.O. – 300 HP, 74°
V6 engines, the engine management software
and ICON II remote control firmware has been
updated to support Evinrude i-Dock steering.
Remote Control Firmware
Remote controls MUST have the firmware listed in
the table below to function properly with the
engines listed. Incorrect firmware will result in a no
crank, no start situation.
If installation of a new engine and remote control
results in a no crank, no start situation, use Evin-
rude Diagnostics software v 6.1 or higher to deter-
mine the remote control firmware.
Refer to the installation instructions provided with
the remote control to update the remote control
firmware.
Remote Control Applications
ICON II remote controls are designed for the fol-
lowing applications:
• Concealed side mount – Single outboard, single
station applications only.
• Foot throttle (optional) – Accessory for use with
the concealed side mount control only. NOT for
use with binnacle mount remote controls.
• Single lever binnacle mount – Single outboard,
single or dual station applications.
• Dual lever binnacle mount – Two, three or four
outboard, single or dual station applications.
Remote Control Installation
Plan the installation of remote controls carefully,
following all instructions provided with the control.
Select an appropriate location based on the boat
configuration.
IMPORTANT: The mounting location must be a
flat surface and must be strong enough to provide
rigid support. Strengthen mounting surface as nec-
essary.
Place remote control at proposed location and
check clearance around remote control lever at
full throttle in FORWARD and then at full throttle in
REVERSE. There must be at least 2.5 in. (64 mm)
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.
