Control System Selection

Outboard remote control systems provide the
operator with tools for:
•
Starting and stopping the engine
•
Shifting into Forward, Neutral, or Reverse
•
Changing engine speed
•
Changing the tilt/trim angle of the outboard.
The remote control system must include the fol-
lowing features:
•
Shift stroke must be 1.125 to 1.330 in. (28.6 to
33.8 mm) between Neutral and Forward
•
Throttle stroke must PUSH for open
•
Start-in-gear prevention
•
Emergency stop switch with lanyard—multiple-
outboard installations require separate start
switches and a single emergency stop switch
•
Connections for engine monitor warning system
Refer to Engine Monitor System on p. 11.
ICON style multiple start switches with master
power/emergency stop switch
A
WARNING
The remote control used must have start-
in-gear prevention. This feature can pre-
vent injuries resulting from unexpected
boat movement when the outboard starts.
Always install and recommend use of an
emergency stop/key switch. Doing so will
reduce the risk of personal injury or death
should the operator fall away from the con-
trols or out of the boat.

Several remote control options, including both
mechanical and electronic systems, are available
in the Evinrude/Johnson Genuine Parts and
Accessories catalog.
Mechanical control systems use push/pull
cables to physically move the shift and throttle
components on the outboard.
These systems use a Modular Wiring System
(MWS) harness to carry start, stop, and trim sig-
nals (analog) to the outboard. Specific harness
selection depends on the type of Information Dis-
play system being used. Refer to INFORMATION
DISPLAY SYSTEMS on p. 11.
Electronic control systems, such as Evinrude
ICON, manage all engine control functions
through a low-voltage, digital data network.

Evinrude ICON multi-engine control
These systems can only be used with outboards
equipped for electronic control, including Evinrude
ETEC models identified with a "DE" prefix in the
model number.
Conversion kits are available to add electronic
control capabilities to standard ETEC models from
150 to 300 HP, 2008 and newer.
