Remote Controls
Control Selection
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:
• Side-mount controls require a neutral lock fea-
ture.
• Single-outboard binnacle remote controls are
offered with or without an integrated key switch.
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.
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.

WARNING
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.
