Throttle Cable Installation and Adjustment
IMPORTANT: When installing throttle cable, be sure that cables are routed in such a
way as to avoid sharp bends and/or contact with moving parts. DO NOT fasten any
items to throttle cable.
1. Place remote throttle lever in idle position and attach cable to throttle body, following
cable manufacturer’s instructions.
2. Install cable end guide on throttle lever, then push cable barrel end lightly toward throttle
lever end. (This will place a slight preload on shift cable to avoid slack in cable when
moving remote control lever.) Adjust barrel on throttle cable to align with hole in anchor
plate. Ensure hole in barrel positions cable as shown. Tighten locknut until it contacts
washer, and then loosen 1/2 turn.

Shift Cable Installation And Adjustment
IMPORTANT: When installing shift cables, be sure that cables are routed in such a
way as to avoid contact with moving parts and/or sharp bends All bends must make
greater than an 8 in. (203 mm) radius. DO NOT fasten any items to shift cables.
Shift cable must be hooked up to remote control before starting installation and adjustment
procedures. Refer to Transmission - Propeller Rotation, as previously outlined in the front
of this manual, for transmission shift lever direction of movement versus propeller shaft
output direction of rotation.
Damage caused to transmission as a result of improper shift lever positioning will not be
covered by warranty.
To ensure proper shift and throttle operation, we recommend the use of a Quicksilver remote
control and cables. Refer to Mercury Precision Parts / Quicksilver Accessories Guide.
