Check that the cables are not sharply bent (less
than
406 mm (1 6 in) in radius) or unnecessarily
bent. (The number of bends should be
minimized.) Also, check that no portions
of the
cables are clamped
so hard as to deform the
cable outers.

the control lever through all functions several
times and check for smooth operation at the
engine and remote control box. Next, firmly

temporarily held with the screws) to the hull.
According to the instructions given in the
respective outboard motor owner's manual,
connect the remote control cables for both
shifting and throttle and wire harness to the
engine. When connecting, set the control lever
to NEUTRAL.
Operate the control lever a few times, check to
see that the lever is turned to FORWARD or
REVERSE until it stops once (about
35"), the
gear shifts, and that when the lever is turned
further from this position to FORWARD, the
throttle fully opens. Next, make sure that when
the control lever
is returned to NEUTRAL, the
throttle is completely closed. If not fully closed,
adjust the positions of cable ends on the engine
side, and install them again.
pEl
The cable ends on the engine side must be
screwed in at
least 8 mm (0.3 in) over the
remote control cables
to prevent the ends from
growing weak, causing them
to flex and break.
Move the control lever several times from lock
to lock and make sure that when it is returned to
the NEUTRAL position, the throttle lever on the
engine side is set to the full-closed position. If
not
in the NEUTRAL position, the cable end on
the engine side must be adjusted. Next, push
the fast idle button and turn the control lever
downward until it stops, then make sure that
when
it is returned to the NEUTRAL position,
the fast idle button is automatically reset. If not,
the throttle lever on the engine side is forced
against the stopper or it is not in the full-closed
position. Adjust the cables
so that the fast idle
button can reset automatically.
