Throttle/Shift Remote Control And Cables - Mercury SKI Instruction Manual

GASOLINE ENGINES SKI MODELS
SPECIAL INFORMATION FOR GASOLINE ENGINES
IMPORTANT: When selecting a propeller consider this additional information, if ap-
plicable:
The engines listed in the following chart are equipped with an rpm rev-limiter that is
set to an upper (or limited) rpm amount. This limit is slightly above the normal operat-
ing range of the engine and is designed to help prevent damage from excessive en-
gine rpm. Once the rpm drop into the recommended operating rpm range, normal en-
gine operation resumes.

Throttle/Shift Remote Control and Cables

Shift control and shift cable MUST position transmission shift lever EXACTLY as stated in
the specific power package Installation Manual or transmission failure may occur. Damage
caused to transmission as a result of improper shift lever positioning will not be covered by
warranty.
To ensure proper shift and throttle operation, we recommend the use of a Quicksilver
remote control and cables. Refer to "Quicksilver Accessories Guide" for selection. However,
if a control other than Quicksilver is to be used, control must provide a shift cable travel
of 2-3/4 in. (70 mm).
