REMOTE CONTROL CABLES
SELECTING THE CABLE LENGTH
Use the following examples as a guide for
measurement. Obviously, different boats will
require different routing, therefore different
lengths are required.
1. Choose a mounting location for the remote
control box which will provide comfortable
operation and unobstructed movement of
the hand lever and control mechanism.
* Minimum clearance below the 704 binnacle
mount remote control mounting surface for
cables is 400 mm (16 in). Also, minimum
clearance behind the 703 side mount remote
control box for the control cables is 400 mm
(16 in).
2. Measure from the control box position along
an unobstructed path to shift and throttle
connections in the motor. The cable lengths
are overall length. When a measurement is
in feet and inches, specify next whole foot.
Add 3 feet for loop (see illustration below).
Obviously, different boats will require differ-
ent routing, therefore different lengths are
required.
For example, a thru-transom boat is shown
in the illustration below.
* When the remote control cable is too long, neutral
adjustment may be difficult due to increased free
play.
REMOTE CONTROL CABLES
CABLE TYPE
Yamaha remote control cables are available in
lengths from 6 feet to 27 feet. The cables uti-
lize 10 – 32 threaded ends.
* If Yamaha remote control cable is not available, a
Teleflex Morse CC3300 (BLK)/33C (RED) type
cable is recommended.
