Remote control cable length
ENOW00100-A
Be careful not to loop the remote control
cables to a diameter of 406 mm (16 in) or
less. Otherwise, it affects the service life of
the cable.
Measure the distance from the remote
control box to the outboard motor
where the remote control cable should
be routed.
Prepare a cable that is 300-450mm
(11.8-17.7in) longer than the measured
distance.
Temporarily pull the cable along the
intended cable route to check its length
is sufficient.
Connect the remote control cable to the
engine, then run the cable to the remote
control box, making sure it is not sharply
bent, too taut and free from obstruc-
tions that could interfere with steering.
