Remote control styles and applications are
described in the Evinrude/Johnson Genuine Parts
and Accessories Catalog. Plan the installation of
all remote controls carefully. Read the outboard's
Operator's Guide and the remote control's installa-
tion instructions prior to installation.
The remote control and wiring harness used must
have the following features:
• Start-in-gear prevention
• Emergency stop / key switch
• Shift stroke must measure 1.125 to 1.330 in.
(28.6 to 33.8 mm) between NEUTRAL and
FORWARD
• Throttle stroke must PUSH for open
• All wiring must be compatible with Modular Wir-
ing System (MWS) components
Additional remote control information:
• Power trim/tilt switch(s) can be integral to the
remote control for outboards with power tilt and
trim.
• Side-mount controls require a neutral lock fea-
ture.
• Single-outboard binnacle remote controls are
offered with or without an integrated key switch.
• Dual-outboard binnacle remote controls require
separate key switches and a single emergency
stop switch.
WARNING
The remote control used must have start-
in-gear prevention. This feature can pre-
vent injuries resulting from unexpected
boat movement when the outboard starts.

trols or out of the boat.
