Remote Control Installation Required Side Mount Remote Control or
Remote Control Installation Refer to “Quicksilver Accessories Guide” to determine correct length of remote control cables. IMPORTANT: Remote control cables must be correct length. Sharp bends on too-short cables result in “kinks;” too-long cables require unnecessary bends and/or loops. Both conditions place extra stress on the cables. IMPORTANT: Install control cables to remote control and mount remote control BEFORE attaching control cables to engine. Refer to installation instructions included with remote control.

5. Place cable barrel into retainer and fasten the cable end to mounting stud with nylon washer (f) and locknut (g). Tighten locknut against the nylon washer, then back-off the locknut 1/4 turn.
3. Adjust throttle cable barrel (b) so the barrel will be able to slip into the retainer when the cable end is on the mounting stud and there is a slight preload against the stop. 4. Check preload on throttle cable by placing a thin piece of paper between adjustment screw and stop. Preload is correct when the paper can be removed without tearing, but has some drag in it. Readjust cable barrel if necessary. 5. Place the throttle cable barrel into the top retainer hole and the cable end on the cable mounting stud. Fasten throttle cable to the mounting stud with nylon washer (c) and locknut (d). Tighten locknut against the nylon washer, then back-off the locknut 1/4 turn. 6. Lock the cable barrels in-place with cable latch (e).
6. Check shift cable adjustments as follows:
a. With remote control in forward the propshaft should lock solidly in gear. If it does not, adjust the cable barrel closer to the cable end guide. b. Shift remote control into neutral. The propshaft should turn freely without drag. If not, adjust the barrel away from the cable end guide. Repeat steps a and b.

c. Shift remote control into reverse while turning propeller. The propshaft should lock solidly in gear. If not, adjust the barrel away from the cable end guide. Repeat steps a thru c.
