Remote Steering Notice
The steering link rod that connects the steering cable to the engine must be
fastened utilizing self‑locking nuts. These self‑locking nuts must never be
replaced with common nuts (nonlocking) as they will work loose and vibrate off,
freeing the link rod to disengage.
!
WARNING
Improper fasteners or improper installation procedures can result in
loosening or disengagement of the steering link rod. This can cause a
sudden, unexpected loss of boat control, resulting in serious injury or death
due to occupants being thrown within or out of the boat. Always use required
components and follow instructions and torque procedures.

Lanyard Stop Switch
The purpose of a lanyard stop switch is to turn off the engine when the operator
moves far enough away from the operator's position (as in accidental ejection
from the operator's position) to activate the switch. Tiller handle outboards and
some remote control units are equipped with a lanyard stop switch. A lanyard
stop switch can be installed as an accessory ‑ generally on the dashboard or
side adjacent to the operator's position.
A decal near the lanyard stop switch is a visual reminder for the operator to
attach the lanyard to their personal flotation device (PFD) or wrist.
