Introduction
This console mount control provides complete one
hand operation of the shift and throttle control. The
control is equipped with a neutral start switch which
must be connected to prevent accidental in-gear start-
ing. The shift and throttle cables are not supplied with
control; order cables separately after position of con-
trol is determined.
Quicksilver throttle and shift control cables are recom-
mended for use in this remote control.
These installation instructions provide complete in-
formation for installing the remote control. Please read
them carefully and thoroughly before starting installa-
tion.
Installation
1. Determine position of remote control. Refer to
“Mounting Remote Control”.
IMPORTANT: Control mechanism will have to be
changed if control will be on port side. Refer to
“Remote Control Alteration”.
If control handle is removed and reinstalled for any
reason. The set screw in handle must be retorqued to
60 lb. in. (7 N.m). Failure to tighten screw securely
could allow control handle to disengage with subse-
quent loss of throttle and shift control.
2.
Install control cables to remote control. Refer to
correct cable installation procedure in this manual.
Note that cable installation is different, depending
on which side the control will be installed.
On some boat installations, it may be helpful to first
make the cutout for remote control (using the at-
tached template) and routing the control cables
thru the boat before installing cables to control.
Mount the remote control following instructions.
Make remote control wiring connections following
“Wiring Diagram”.
Install and adjust shift and throttle cables to power
package following instructions which accompany
the power package or refer to the Product Service
Manual.
Final Checks and Adjustments
a. Re-check tightness of control handle set screw.
Set screw should be torqued to 60 lb. in. (7 N.m).
b. Before remote control is securely fastened,
make sure parts are in place. Check to see that
control cables are routed correctly.
Do not try to shift remote control into “Reverse” on
outboard installations when outboard is not running.
Forcing the shift mechanism into reverse may damage
the mechanism.

d.
e.
Operate control handle several times (see “Cau-
tion” preceding). Adjust control handle friction
adjustment screw to desired tension. Any bind-
ing or stiffness in the operation of the control
handle is usually caused by the following.
1 - Bends or tension on control cables, close to
the control.
2 - Excessive number of bends in cables.
3 - Bends are too small in cables.
4 - Tight engine linkage.
Adjust the control handle detent adjustment
screw to desired tension.
Check operation of neutral start switch. Engine
must only be able to start when control handle is
in neutral position. Make sure water intake in
lower unit is in water when starting engine.
