Installation of Cables

A. 

 

BEND RADIUS. 

When routing the control cables, select a path with 

the minimum number of bends, making the bends as large as 

possible. Sharp or frequent bends will result in difficult throttle or shift 

control, loss of motion, and premature cable wear. 

DO NOT MAKE 

BENDS OF LESS THAN THE RECOMMENDED MINIMUM BEND 

RADIUS AS NOTED BELOW.

 

B. 

 

SUPPORTING THE CABLE. 

Do not tie or clamp the cable within 36 

inches of the control. When supporting the cable beyond 36 inches 

of the control, cables should be loosely clamped or tied for support at 

regular intervals.

Cable Type

Minimum

Bend Radius

Standard

8"

Xtreme

4"

For best performance, SeaStar Solutions recommends using Xtreme 

cables with this control.

Cables must not be bundled together with electrical wiring.

Cables must not rest on sharp edges which can cause chafing. 

 

CAUTION

C. 

 

CABLE ROUTING. 

Cables shall not be installed in areas of excess 

heat such as on, or close to, exhaust manifolds where temperatures 

may exceed 212°F (100°C).
