Outboard Rigging Guide - 2001
CONTROL BOX ADJUSTMENTS
Proper control box adjustments are critical for
smooth and safe operation. Yamaha uses two
types of throttle control. Yamaha outboards; 8,
F9.9, T9.9, 20, 25, & 30 pull the throttle cable to
open. Yamaha outboards T8, 9.9, 15, 40 ~ C40
and larger push the throttle cable to open. Shift
cable control is the same for all outboards.
Yamaha 704/705 control boxes can be setup as
push to open or pull to open by changing one
internal component.
Rigging as efficiently as possible means setting
up the control box just once, without having to
open up the box again to readjust the cable ends
after hookup to the motor. Refer to the following
diagrams for proper cable end adjustments at the
control box. Using these settings at the control
box will ensure the cable ends at the motor will
adjust properly.
