704 Binnacle Remote Control Installation
WARNING
Incorrect selection or installation of a remote
control may result in sudden and unexpected
loss of control, thus resulting in a serious acci-
dent.
Select the proper position for the remote control
box, and stick the template on the selected posi-
tion, then drill holes through it.
When selecting the control box position, keep the
following in mind:
• The remote control box should be set in a
position so as not to interfere with the opera-
tion of the control lever and switches. Make
sure the remote control cables are not
obstructed.
• Allow enough space so that the bottom of the
remote control box does not contact any other
parts.
• Provide enough space so that the remote con-
trol cables can be routed without being bent
sharply. The radius of a cable bend should be
more than 101mm (4.0 in).
CAUTION:
Sharp bends (less than 101mm - 4.0in radius)
of the cables will obstruct the smooth move-
ment of the cables and shorten cable life.

Installing
the Remote Control Cables
CAUTION:
Cable connection should be started first from
the remote control box side. If started from the
engine side, cable adjustment will be impossi-
ble in some cases.
1. Loosen the four screws securing the cover
and remove it from the body.
2. Loosen the five screws and remove the
mounting flange, packing, and back plate.
NOTE: The mounting flange on the back plate
side should also be removed.
3. For installation of the cable joints, (acces-
sories) see page 4-47. Tighten the lock nuts
before installing the cable joints, apply
Yamaha Marine Grease to the threaded holes
in the cable joints.
WARNING
If the cable is not screwed in at least 8mm, the
cable joint could break. This could cause loss of
control and an accident.
