Correct length control cables and wiring har-
nesses
•
Proper type and quality of cables and wiring
harnesses
•
Correct routing of cables and harnesses
•
Appropriate slack in front of the outboard for
remote control cables

Proper routing of cables to prevent kinking

INSTALLATION AND PREDELIVERY
SystemCheck™ Monitor
The SystemCheck engine monitor alerts the oper-
ator of certain engine problems. Refer to the
Operator's Guide for detailed information related
to the various warning signals.
IMPORTANT:
Outboards with remote controls
must be equipped with a SystemCheck (or equiv-
alent) engine monitor. Operating the outboard
without an engine monitor will void the warranty
for failures related to monitored functions.
