REMOTE CONTROLS — EVINRUDE ICON™ CONTROL SYSTEM
Evinrude ICON is an intelligent, electronic shift and throttle control system for use with ICON equipped outboards. ICON
control systems are available for single– up to five–engine installations. The ICON control system supports dual station
and “flying bridge” applications.
ICON features include:
• Smooth, effortless shifting
• Gear-position indicators
• Neutral throttle advance
• RPM Tune™ precision speed control
• PowerSync™ automatic engine synchronization
• Multiple engine trim control with one switch
IMPORTANT: The ICON control system must be used with ICON or I-Command gauges or other instruments using the
NMEA 2000 open communication standard. For more detailed information about using ICON control systems, refer to
the “ICON User’s Guide”.
Emergency Stop/Key Switch
The ICON system uses a combination emergency stop
switch and key switch. This “master switch” controls power
to the entire network.
Connect the clip and lanyard to the emergency stop/key
switch. Snap the lanyard to a secure place on the opera-
tor’s clothing or life vest — not where it might tear away in-
stead of activating the stop switch. Disconnecting the clip
and lanyard will stop the engine and prevent the boat from
becoming a runaway if the driver moves beyond the range
of the lanyard. Pulling the clip and lanyard stops all out-
boards in a multi-outboard installation.
Individual outboards are started or stopped, with the rocker
switches on switch panel.
1. Clip and lanyard
2. Emergency stop/key switch
3. Engine start/stop switch
IMPORTANT: Your emergency stop switch can be effec-
tive only when in good working condition. At each outing,
inspect clip and lanyard for cuts, breaks, or wear. Replace
worn or damaged parts.
WARNING
If you choose a non-Evinrude remote control, it must have a start-in-gear prevention feature. This feature can
prevent injuries resulting from unexpected boat movement when the engine starts.
WARNING
Avoid knocking or pulling the clip off the stop
switch during normal boating. Avoid bumping the
key if operating without the clip on the switch. The
resulting unexpected loss of forward motion can
throw occupants forward, causing injury.
Keep the lanyard free from obstructions and entan-
glements.
At each outing, test the system’s operation. With the
engine running, remove the clip from the switch by
pulling the lanyard. If the engine does not stop run-
ning, see your Dealer.
