FNM HPEP 225 Installation Manual page 78

Do not strap or clamp the control cables to any other cables or rigid structure within
4.
3 feet (914 mm) of the control box.
5. Ensure that the cable is not permanently kinked.Make sure there is proper
clearance for cable movement when the control box is installed in the side panel.
The cables must have room to move up and down when the control handle is shifted
into either forward or reverse.
7. Ensure that the engine was not set down on the intermediate shift cable during
installation; this will crush the inner cable tubing and cause improper and/or stiff shifting.
8. Do NOT fasten the shift cable with straps or clamps to any other cable within 5 ft (1524
mm) of the shift plate.
9. Do NOT fasten the shift cable to the transom with any type of plastic clips or fasteners
within 5 ft (1. 524 m) of the shift plate.
10. Do NOT overtighten the throttle or shift cable attaching nuts at the engine end. Barrel
and cable end must be free to rotate on the mounting stud.
NOTE: Check the intermediate points with motor oil.
11. Chech the intermediate shift cable routing from the transom assembly to the shift
plate. Following this routing will prevent the engine coupler from damaging the cable.
