Cable, Hose, and Wire Routing
Refer to Control Cable Identification on p. 20.
Apply soapy water to the inside surfaces of grom-
met and install cables and fuel line as shown:
Place the grommet into position in the lower
engine cover.
When grommet is in place and all cables have
been installed, tighten a tie strap around the out-
side of the grommet to form a watertight seal
around the cables.
Control Cable Installation
Refer to Control Cable Identification on p. 20.
Remove cable retainer from anchor block. Apply
Triple-Guard grease to both anchor block pockets.
IMPORTANT:
DO NOT secure cables to throttle
and shift lever pins until all cables, wires, and hos-
es have been routed and grommet has been in-
stalled in the lower engine cover.
Make sure the remote control is in NEUTRAL, and
throttle is in the IDLE position.
Pull firmly on shift cable casing to remove slack.
With outboard in NEUTRAL, place the cable trun-
nion into the lower anchor pocket. Adjust the trun-
nion nut so the casing fits onto the shift lever pin.

CAUTION
To prevent accidental starting while servicing,
disconnect the battery cables at the battery.
Disconnect the Crankshaft Position Sensor
(CPS).
NOTICE
After installation, make sure there is enough
clearance for all cables to avoid binding or
chafing through all engine steering and tilting
angles.
