Installation of Shift and Throttle Cables Shift cable should “PULL” for forward gear on right-hand rotation SX and DP-S propeller applications. Shift cable should “PUSH” for forward gear on left-hand rotation SX propeller applications. Throttle cable should “Push” to close for Volvo Penta remote controls. Failure to do so could result in loss of control of the boat and possible injury to the boat occupants. 1.
If the remote control shift and throttle cables are installed in the remote controls, proceed to Check Remote Control Shift Cable Stroke.
2.
If the remote control shift and throttle cables have not been installed, the following procedure will permit you to order the correct length remote control shift and throttle cables.
3.
Measure the proposed route of the remote control shift and throttle cables. All bends must have a radius greater than 6 inches (15,2 cm). • Remote control shift cable: Add (A)+(B) plus 20 in. (50.8 cm), round up to next cable length. • Remote control throttle cable: Add (A)+(B)+(C) plus 4 in. (10.1 cm), (C is to center of throttle arm pin). Round up to next cable length. Caution!

When removing shift and throttle cables from the packing box, DO NOT bend the cables tighter than a 6 inch radius.
