Installation Guidelines
Install the appropriate remote control following all
instructions provided with the remote control.
Make sure the following items are checked:
• Correct length control cables and wiring har-
nesses
• Proper type and quality of cables and wiring
harnesses
• Correct routing of cables and harnesses
• Appropriate slack in front of the outboard for
remote control cables
• Proper routing of cables to prevent kinking
• Positioning and securing of cables and har-
nesses along their lengths to prevent movement
or damage
Typical transom-mounted outboard installations
require a 12 in. (30 cm) cable loop at the front of
the outboard when the cables are routed from the
side of the splash well.
IMPORTANT: Cables of the proper length, style,
and quality that are correctly installed and
adjusted will eliminate most control-related opera-
tional problems.
SystemCheckâ„¢ Monitor
The SystemCheck engine monitor alerts the oper-
ator of certain engine problems. Refer to the
Operator’s Guide for detailed information related
to the various warning signals.
IMPORTANT: Outboards with remote controls
must be equipped with a SystemCheck gauge, I-
Command system, or equivalent engine monitor.
Operating the outboard without an engine monitor
will void the warranty for failures related to moni-
tored functions.
