Dual Station (Helm) Cable Setup

The remote control cables can be connected in series or parallel. When connected in
series, the remote control cables from the secondary station are connected to the remote
control at the primary station. The primary station cables are then connected to the engine,
using the single cable attachment procedure. On some applications, it may be preferable
to connect both sets of cable directly to the engine, using a parallel connection. Mercury
MerCruiser inboard engines come equipped with the necessary hardware for making either
type of connection.
