Remote Control Installation; Shift And Throttle Cable Installation To The Outboard - Mercury 6 Service Manual

Remote Control Installation

Refer to Mercury Precision Parts/Quicksilver Accessory Guide for appropriate electric
or manual remote control. Use instructions provided with control for proper installation.

Shift and Throttle Cable Installation to the Outboard

IMPORTANT: Install control cables to remote control and mount control before
attaching control cables to outboard.
Install throttle and shift cables to remote control and mount control as outlined in installation
instructions which accompany the remote control.
NOTE: Attach shift cable to outboard first. Shift cable is the first cable to move when remote
control handle is advanced from NEUTRAL position toward in-gear position.
Refer to the Mercury Precision Parts/Quicksilver Accessory Guide to determine correct
length of remote control cables.
IMPORTANT: Remote control cables must be the 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 and control.
