GENERAL INFORMATION
9
Outboard Remote Control Models
The remote control connected to your outboard must be equipped with a start in neutral only protection
device. This prevents the engine from starting when the shift is actuated in any position other than neutral.
!
WARNING
Starting the engine with the drive in gear can cause serious injury or death. Never operate a boat that
does not have a neutral-safety-protection device.

Remote Steering Notice
The steering link rod that connects the steering cable to the engine must be fastened utilizing self-locking
nuts. These self-locking nuts must never be replaced with common nuts (non-locking) as they will work
loose and vibrate off, freeing the link rod to disengage.
!
WARNING
Improper fasteners or improper installation procedures can result in loosening or disengagement of
the steering link rod. This can cause a sudden, unexpected loss of boat control, resulting serious injury
or death due to occupants being thrown within or out of the boat. Always use required components
and follow instructions and torque procedures.

Lanyard Stop Switch
The purpose of a lanyard stop switch is to turn off the engine when the operator moves far enough away
from the operator's position (as in accidental ejection from the operator's position) to activate the switch.
Tiller handle outboards and some remote control units are equipped with a lanyard stop switch. A lanyard
stop switch can be installed as an accessory - generally on the dashboard or side adjacent to the
operator's position.
