CONTROL
CABLE
(Mechanical
wire type)
Measure the distance from the control
box to the outboard motor along the
cable routing.
Recommended cable length is
300 – 450 mm (11.8 – 17.7 in) longer
than the measured distance.
Set the cable along the predetermined
route and be sure that it is long
enough to the route.
Connect the cable to the engine and
be sure it is not kinked, bent sharp,
pulled taut, or interfered while
steering.
Do not bend the remote control
cable as sharp as its route diameter
is 300 mm (11.8 in) or less, or it
affects the service life of the cable
and the remote control lever
operation.
