IMPORTANT: GEN II throttle and shift cables are required with the GEN II remote controls. The remote control cables must
be the correct length. Sharp bends when the cables are too short result in kinks. Cables that are too long require unnecessary
bends and/or loops. Both conditions place extra stress on the cables resulting in unfavorable shift and throttle operation. The
minimum bend radius of the remote control cable is 30.5 cm (12 in.). For applications that require a smaller than the minimum
radius, multiple bends or lengths longer than 5.5 m (18 ft), Mercury/Quicksilver GEN II Platinum or Premium cables are
required. Refer to the Mercury Precision Parts Accessories Guide.
