Outboard Remote Control Models

The remote control connected to your outboard must be equipped with a
start in neutral only protection device. This prevents the engine from
starting when the shift is actuated in any position other than neutral.
Avoid serious injury or death from a sudden unexpected acceleration
when starting your engine. The design of this outboard requires that the
remote control used with it must have a built in start in neutral only
protection device.

Remote Steering Notice

Disengagement of a steering link rod can result in the boat taking a full,
sudden, sharp turn. This potentially violent action can cause occupants
to be thrown overboard exposing them to serious injury or death.
The steering link rod that connects the steering cable to the engine must
be fastened utilizing self-locking nuts. These self-locking nuts must never
be replaced with common nuts (non-locking) as they will work loose and
vibrate off, freeing the link rod to disengage.
