REMOTE CONTROL CABLES
ROUTING THE REMOTE CONTROL CABLES
WARNING
Do not bend the remote control cable to the radius of 300 mm (1 foot) or smaller. Additional
friction will impair the control ability.
1. Route the cable along an unobstructed path of the hull from the remote control box to the engine.
2. Take 3 feet (approximately 1 m) of cable to make a loop in the motor well. This is to prevent the
cables from hard bend when the outboard motor is fully tilted up and steered. See the illustration
below for a typical cable routing.
* Refer to the instruction manual packed in the remote control box for the installation and routing of the remote
control cable.
