CAUTION
Be careful not to loop the remote control
cables to a diameter of 406 mm (16 inches)
or less. Otherwise, it affects the service life
of the cable.
Measure the distance from the remote
control box to the outboard motor where
the remote control cable should be routed.
Prepare a cable that is 300-450mm (11.8-
17.7in) longer than the measured distance.
Temporarily pull the cable along the
intended cable route to check its length is
sufficient.
Connect the remote control cable to the
engine, then run the cable to the remote
control box, making sure it is not sharply
bent, too taut and free from obstructions
that could interfere with steering.
