Control Cable Identification
IMPORTANT: Identify control cable function
before rigging outboard.
Identify each control cable:
• Put the control handle into NEUTRAL position.
The throttle cable casing guide will retract com-
pletely and the shift cable casing guide will go to
the midpoint of its travel.
Extend the control cables and lubricate them with
Triple-Guard grease.
Cable Retainer Clip Installation
When installing retainer clips on control arm link-
age pins, clips should be locked and must not be
bent or deformed.
For proper installation, review the following steps:
• Place washer on pin.
• Position retainer clip with straight section on the
bottom and angled section on the top.
• Use long nose pliers to insert straight section of
clip into linkage pin hole.
• Push the clip towards the hole while lifting on
the curved end with the pliers.
• Be sure retainer clip fully engages the pin.
• Lock the retainer by moving the angled section
behind the straight section.
