Control System Selection
Outboard remot e cont rol systems pro vide the
operator with tools for:
• Starting and stopping the engine
• Shifting into Forward, Neutral, or Reverse
• Changing engine speed
• Changing the tilt/trim angle of the outboard.
The remote control system must in clude t he fo l-
lowing features:
• Shift stroke mu st be 1.125 to 1. 330 in. (28.6 to
33.8 mm) between Neutral and Forward
• Throttle stroke must PUSH for open
• Start-in-gear prevention
• Emergency stop swit ch with lanyard—multiple-
outboard inst allations re quire sep arate st art
switches and a single emergency stop switch
• Connections for engine monitor warning system
Refer to Engine Monitor System on p. 11.
Several re mote contro l options, including bo th
mechanical and e lectronic systems, are available
in the Evinrude/Johnson Genuine Parts and
Accessories catalog.
Mechanical control systems use push/pull
cables to physically move the sh ift and throttle
components on the outboard.
These systems use a Mo dular Wiring System
(MWS) ha rness to carry st art, stop, and trim sig-
nals (analog) to the outb oard. S pecific harness
selection depends on t he type of Information Dis-
play system being used. Refer to INFORMATION
DISPLAY SYSTEMS on p. 11.
Electronic control systems, such as Evinrude
ICON, manag e all engine control functions
through a low-voltage, digital data network.
These systems can only be used with ou tboards
equipped for electronic control, including Evinrude
ETEC mo dels ide ntified wit h a “DE” pre fix in t he
model number.
Conversion kit s are ava ilable to add e lectronic
control capabilities to standard ETEC models from
150 to 300 HP, 2008 and newer.

A 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.
Always install and recommend use of an
emergency stop/key switch. Doing so will
reduce the risk of personal injury or death
should the operator fall away from the con-
trols or out of the boat.
