and Accessories Catalog. Plan the installation of
all remote controls carefully. Read the outboard's
Operator's Guide and the remote control's installa-
tion instructions prior to installation.

Power trim/tilt switch(s) can be integral to the

remote control for outboards with power tilt and
trim.
Side-mount controls require a neutral lock fea-
•
ture.
Single-outboard binnacle remote controls are
•
offered with or without an integrated key switch.

switch
Always install and recommend use of an
emergency stop/key switch. Doing so will
reduce the risk of personal injury or death
