Adaptability
Control Cable
This control will connect to ANY current 3300-/OEM-type control cable. A cable nest kit (also known as a
quick-connect adapter; part #212151-001), which mates to the engine’s shift and throttle cable, is included
with this control. Unique cable nests, which are required for Mercury Gen II Engines only, are included with
the control connection kit.

INSTALLATION
Section 1: Location of Control
1.1 Allow adequate clearance for hand lever swing (forward and reverse positions).
1.2 Allow adequate clearance under the console or in the gunwale for the cables AND allow a minimum of 36”
from the cable nest connection with no restraint. When supporting the cables beyond 36”, do not tie or
clamp tightly.
1.3 After a suitable location for the control is determined, use the separate mounting template.
1.4 Closely follow the instructions provided on the template. Cut & drill the mounting holes required.
On all models, the cover will have to be removed to expose the mounting holes.
Tools for Installation
Phillips head screwdrivers Power drill 5/8” or 16mm deep well socket
Standard slot screwdriver 7/32” & 17/64” drill bits Ratchet wrench
Saber saw 3/8” box end wrench
4¼ “ Hole Saw (optional) Multimeter (optional)
Section 2: Measuring the Cables
Measure the cable routing path from the control head connection to the engine connection.
Outboards:
Measure from the control connection -- along an unobstructed cable
routing --to the center of the outboard engine.
Add four (4) feet to the measurement to allow for a loop which
provides unrestricted engine movement. Round UP to the next
whole foot and order the required cable part number.
(Last two digits of the Teleflex cable number equal the length of the
cable in feet.)
Inboards & Stern Drives:
Measure from the control connection -- along an unobstructed cable
routing -- to the SHIFT or THROTTLE connection. Round this
dimension UP to the next whole foot and order the required cable
part number.
(Last two digits of the Teleflex cable number equal the length of the
cable in feet.)
