Selecting Steering Cables
and Remote Control Cables
Refer to “Quicksilver Accessories Guide” to deter-
mine correct length of steering cables and remote
control cables.
IMPORTANT: Steering cables and remote control
cables must be the correct length. Sharp bends
on too-short cables result in “kinks;” too-long
cables require unnecessary bends and/or loops.
Both conditions place extra stress on the cables.
