Shift Cable Installation
Position the remote control handle in NEUTRAL.
Be sure the throttle cable is retracted to IDLE
position and shift cable is at mid-point of travel.
Position shift linkage of outboard in NEUTRAL.
Make sure gearcase is in NEUTRAL.
Connect shift cable to shift lever using clevis pin
and cotter pin supplied with remote control
adapter kit.
Adjust and locate cable trunnion in trunnion
anchor bracket.
Install trunnion cover and torque the screw to 60
to 84 in. lbs. (7 to 9 N·m).
Slip rubber grommet onto control cables and
press grommet into groove in lower engine cover.
Control Cable Adjustment
The remote control cable trunnion provides
adjustment for the throttle cable and the shift
cable. Adjust by turning the trunnion nut.
Adjust the shift trunnion. The shift lever and gear-
case must be in NEUTRAL when the remote con-
trol handle is in NEUTRAL.
Adjust the throttle trunnion. The throttle lever must
be at extreme slow speed position and against the
IDLE stop screw when the remote control is in
extreme slow speed position.
Check cable adjustment:
• If throttle cable is too loose, idle speed will be
high and/or inconsistent.
• If throttle cable adjustment is too tight, control
effort will be high when shifting in and out of
gear.
IMPORTANT: Inspect the installation to ensure
the remote control cables are attached to the
proper engine levers. Advance the fast idle lever
to the START position. If correctly attached, the
throttle cable and throttle lever on outboard will
move.
