Shift and Throttle Cable
Installation to the Outboard
Install the shift cable and throttle cable into the remote
control and mount the remote control following
instructions which are provided with remote control.
NOTE: Install the shift cable before the throttle cable.
The shift cable is the first cable to move when the re-
mote control handle is actuated.
Shift Cable Installation
1. Position the remote control handle into neutral
detent.
2. Manually shift engine (move shift actuator “a”)
into neutral position. The propeller shaft can ro-
tate in either direction.
3. Slide shift actuator (a) toward the rear of engine
(reverse gear) until resistance is felt. Measure the
distance between mounting stud and barrel re-
tainer. Push the cable end in (towards cable bar-
rel) until resistance is felt. Adjust the cable barrel
to obtain the proper distance.

f - Barrel Retainer Latch
4. Place the shift cable barrel into the barrel retainer
and the cable end on the cable mounting stud.
Fasten shift cable to the mounting stud with nylon
washer (e) and locknut (d). Tighten locknut
against the nylon washer, then back-off the lock-
nut 1/4 turn. Lock cable barrel (c) in barrel retainer
(b) with retainer latch (f).
5. Check shift cable adjustments as follows:
a. With remote control in forward the propshaft
should lock solidly in gear. If it does not, adjust
the cable barrel closer to the cable end guide.
b. Shift remote control into neutral. The prop-
shaft should turn freely without drag. If not,
adjust the barrel away from the cable end
guide. Repeat steps a and b.
c. Shift remote control into reverse while turning
propeller. The propshaft should lock solidly in
gear. If not, adjust the barrel away from the
cable end guide. Repeat steps a thru c.
d. Return remote control handle to neutral. The
propeller should turn freely without drag. If
not, adjust the barrel closer to the cable end
guide. Repeat steps a thru d.
Throttle Cable Installation
NOTE: Attach SHIFT CABLE to engine prior to at-
taching THROTTLE CABLE.
1. Position remote control handle in neutral detent.
2. Position engine throttle lever against idle stop.
3. Measure distance between throttle barrel retainer
(a) and throttle actuator stud (b) (center-to-cen-
ter). Add 1/8 in. (3.18 mm) for preload.
4. Adjust cable barrel (c) to attain the same distance
between barrel and hole in throttle cable end
guide (center-to-center) as measured in step 3.
5. Place the throttle cable barrel into barrel retainer
and the cable end on the cable mounting stud.
Fasten throttle cable to the mounting stud with ny-
lon washer (e) and locknut (d). Tighten locknut
against the nylon washer, then back-off the lock
nut 1/4 turn. Lock cable barrel (c) in barrel retainer
(a) with retainer latch (g).
6. Check throttle cable adjustment as follows:
a. Advance remote control to wide open throttle
and bring back to neutral.
b. Manually push tower shaft (f) towards idle
stop. If tower shaft moves toward stop, adjust
cable barrel away from cable end guide. Re-
peat steps a and b.
