Notice
Throughout this publication, and on your motor,
DANGER, WARNINGS and CAUTIONS (accompanied
by the international HAZARD Symbol
) may be
used to alert the installer/ user to special instructions
concerning a particular service or operation that may
be hazardous if performed incorrectly or carelessly.
OBSERVE THEM CAREFULLY!
These “Safety Alerts” alone cannot eliminate the
hazards that they signal. Strict compliance to these
special instructions when performing the service, plus
“common sense” operation, are major accident pre-
vention measures.
DANGER -
Immediate hazards which WILL result in
severe personal injury or death.
WARNING - Hazards or unsafe practices which
COULD result in severe personal injury or death.
CAUTION - Hazards or unsafe practices which could
result minor personal injury or product or property
damage.
IMPORTANT: - Indicates information or instructions
that are necessary for proper operation and/or mainte-
nance.
Maintenance and
Replacement Parts
Maintenance and safety instructions are owner’s re-
sponsibility and must be performed at intervals speci-
fied, following:
Normal Service - Every 50 hrs. of operation or 60 days
(whichever comes first)
*Severe Service - Every 25 hrs. of operation or 30 days
(whichever comes first)
*Operation in a salt water area is considered “Severe

1. Check fasteners, which secure remote control to
boat, to be sure that they are tight.
2. Check set screws, which secure control handles to
remote control, to ensure they are torqued to 60 lb.
in. (7 N.m.)
3.
4.
5.
Check electrical connections to be sure that they
are tight, and that harness is properly secured and
kept away from bilge water.
Inspection and lubrication of remote control
assembly should be performed once each year (by
your authorized dealer), or whenever remote con-
trol is disassembled, or if control operating effort
has increased. Lubricate with Quicksilver 2-4-C
Marine Lubricant or equivalent.
Quicksilver throttle and shift control cables recom-
mended for use in this remote control.
Selecting Remote Control
Cables
Refer to outboard “Quicksilver Dealers’ Guide” to
determine correct length of control cables.
IMPORTANT: Remote control cables MUST BE THE
CORRECT LENGTH, sharp bends on too-short cables
result in “kinks”; too-long cables require unnecessary
bends and/or loops. Both conditions place extra stress
on the cables.
IMPORTANT: Check throttle and shift cables BEFORE
installing in control modules to ensure that set screws
in cable end guides are tight. Torque cable end guide
set screws to 20 to 25 Ibs. in. (2.3 to 2.8 N.m.)
Shift Cable/Throttle Cable Lubrication Points Use
Quicksilver 2-4-C Marine Lubricant.
