5. Repeat step #4 with the selector and control levers in
reverse position.
If the movement of the connector does not correspond with
the movement of the selector lever it will be necessary to
readjust the remote control head to provide the proper
direction of control cable travel.
CAUTION: Transmissions operated in reverse to
propel the boat forward will fail early. Engine and
propeller rotation must be matched according to
the Serial Plate.
Throttle Cable
1. Place control lever on single lever control into forward
gear without advancing the throttle and on a twin lever
control in the fully closed position.
2. Adjust the connector so that it slips freely into the
connector socket and lock into place.
3. Position throttle into the full throttle position after
blocking the choke open. Check to see if the throttle
valves are in the full open position on both the primary
and secondary side if so equipped.
If valves do not open fully make necessary adjustments
at either control head or cable connector to insure full
opening. Repeat steps #1 and 2 to insure proper idle
settings and adjust if necessary.

NOTE: Cable sizes apply both to positive (+) and
negative (-) cables. Terminals must be
soldered to cable ends to provide adequate
contact.
Battery and Battery Cable Installation
1. Battery should be positioned as close to engine as
possible and should be securely mounted in boat.
2. Connect negative (-) battery cable to ground on engine,
connect positive (+) battery cable to solenoid.
3. Connect positive battery cable to positive post on
battery and negative battery cable to negative (-) post on
battery.
IMPORTANT: Engine electrical system is negative ground.
Failure to connect battery leads, as outlined, will damage
system.
MISCELLANEOUS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: Before starting engine always ventilate
engine compartment by opening engine hatch or, if
equipped, operate bilge blower a sufficient amount
of time to remove any gas fumes from engine
compartment. It is doubly important to check for

oil
level.
2. Transmission lubricant level.
3. Engine drain plugs installed.
4. Leakage (fuel and water lines and connections).
5. Throttle shutters full close at idle (neutral).
Check While Running (See "Caution", Below)
1. Oil pressure 35 to 40 PSI (2.5 to 2.8kg/cm2) (Approx.)
at 2000 RPM.
2. Water temperature 1401-1600 R/W and 180'-2000 F/W
3. Idle RPM (550-600) in gear
4. Maximum forward RPM 4,400
5. Shifting linkage (forward, neutral and reverse) for shift
lever in detent and proper direction.
6. Leakage (water, oil and fuel)

CAUTION: Do Not Operate Engine without Cooling
Water Flowing thru Water Pump, or Neoprene
Water Pump Impeller Will Become Damaged.
Attach Water Hose to Pump Inlet. Run Engine
Slowly (650-700 RMP) in Neutral to Circulate Water.
Watch Water Temperature Gauge to Prevent
Overheating.
