Control Cable Selection; Remote Control Box - HONDA marine BF40D Instructions D'utilisation

CONTROL CABLE SELECTION

1) Select a mounting location of the remote control
box where it allows easy access and unrestricted
operation of the control lever, and make sure that
there are no other parts obstructing the cables
and all components between the remote control
box and the outboard motor.
• The remote control box is normally mounted on
the starboard side, but it can be adapted on a
reversed control lever position (port side
installation).
• Recommended position to install the control
box is close to the corner of the front seat with
the control lever in the "N" (NEUTRAL) position.
• The bottom of the remote control box should be
level with as the upper surface of the seat.
• Insert a shim between the control box and the
installation surface, if the play of the operating
lever is insufficient.

REMOTE CONTROL BOX

CONTROL CABLES
• Position the spacer plate between the control
box and the installation surface.
• If the thickness of the mounting location is
25 mm (0.98 in) or more, this location is not
suitable to mount; select other location.
2) Calculate the control cable length.
Measure the distance of L1 and L2 and calculate
the required control cable length as follows.
Required control cable length =
L1 + L2 + 300 - 450 mm (12 - 18 in)
• If the cable is looped and then routed.
Cable length: L1 + L2 + 1,200 mm (48 in)
• Do not bend the control cable sharp with the
radius of the cable bend being 400 mm (15 in)
or below.
• Bending the cable sharp will increase the
operation load of the control lever which
deteriorates the operationability of the lever.
• It must be long enough so that it allows proper
tilt-up or down of the outboard motor and
secure steering operation.
• Add the extra length to the cable if it is obliged
to route the cable with slackness or if it is not
possible to route the cable in an ordinary route.
Recommended control cable:
Morse 33C cable (commercially available)
• Type of cable end screws: SAE thread (10-32
UNF-2A).
• Use the SAE type thread only.
