The remote control used must have start-
in-gear prevention. This feature can pre-
vent injuries resulting from unexpected
boat movement when the outboard starts.
Remote control styles and applications are
described in the Evinrude/Johnson Genuine Parts
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.

have the following features:
• Start-in-gear prevention
• Emergency stop / key switch
• Shift stroke must measure 1.125 to 1.330 in.
(28.6 to 33.8 mm) between NEUTRAL and
FORWARD

• All wiring must be compatible with Modular Wir-
ing System (MWS) components

Always install and recommend use of an
emergency stop/key switch. Doing so will
reduce the risk of personal injury or death
should the operator fall away from the con-
trols or out of the boat.
Installation Guidelines
Install the appropriate remote control following all
instructions provided with the remote control.
Make sure the following items are checked:
• 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
• Positioning and securing of cables and har-
nesses along their lengths to prevent movement
or damage
Typical transom-mounted outboard installations
require a 12 in. (30 cm) cable loop at the front of
the outboard when the cables are routed from the
side of the splash well.
