Attaching Kit Installation
(92876A6)
Dual Cable - Dual Outboard
WARNING
Quicksilver Super RideGuide Steering (dual
cables) MUST BE USED with this attaching kit.
Failure to adhere to this requirement could result
in steering system failure.
Refer to “Quicksilver Accessories Guide” to
determine correct length of steering cable and
remote control cables.
IMPORTANT: Steering cable 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 and reduce the performance of the
steering system.

IMPORTANT: The distance from each outboard’s
centerline to the side of transom opening MUST
BE a minimum of 16 in. (406mm).
This kit contains all necessary parts to connect both

centerline spacing. If outboard centerline distance is
other then specified, refer to end of this instruction
manual for optional extension couplers.
