Remote Control Installation Location
Improperly installed steering
system, remote control box, and
remote control cable, or installing
those of the different types could
cause unpredictable accident.
Consult an authorized Honda
outboard motor dealer for proper
installation.
Remote Control Cable Length
Do not bend the remote control
cable as sharp as its route diameter
is 400 mm (1-1/6 feet) or less, or it
affects the service life of the cable
and the remote control lever
operation.

BOX
Install the remote control box in the
position where is easy to operate the
control lever and switches.
Be sure that there are no obstacles on
the route of the control cable.
Measure the distance from the center
of the remote control box via the
transom corner to the center of the
engine.
Recommended cable length is 300
mm (11.8 in) longer than the
measured distance.
Connect the cable to the engine and
be sure it is not kinked, bent sharp,
pulled taut, or interfered while
steering.
Set the cable along the pre-
determined route and be sure that it is
long enough to the route.
