GEN II Pistol Grip with Fingertip Neutral Lock Release Panel Mount Remote
Control Features and Operation
1 - Neutral lock button
2 - Throttle only button
3 - Power trim switch
4 - Lanyard stop switch
5 - Control handle
6 - Control handle friction adjustment nut
1. Neutral lock button ‑ Prevents unintentional shifting into gear. To shift into gear, press and hold the neutral lock button
and move the control handle out of neutral.
2. Throttle only button ‑ The throttle only button allows throttle advancement without shifting the engine. The throttle only
button disengages the shifting mechanism from the control handle. The throttle only button can be pressed and held in
only when the remote control handle is in the neutral position. While holding the throttle only button in, move the throttle
handle forward to assist in starting the engine.
3. Power trim (and trailer MCM only) switch (if equipped) ‑ Used to trim or raise drive unit for trailering, launching,
beaching, or shallow water operation.
4. Lanyard stop switch (if equipped) ‑ The purpose of a lanyard stop switch is to turn off the engine when the operator
moves far enough away from the operator's position (as in accidental ejection from the operator's position) to activate the
switch. Tiller handle outboards and some remote control units are equipped with a lanyard stop switch. A lanyard stop
switch can be installed as an accessory ‑ generally on the dashboard or side adjacent to the operator's position.
• The lanyard is a cord usually between 122 and 152 cm (4 and 5 feet) in length when stretched out, with an element
on one end made to be inserted into the switch and a snap on the other end for attaching to the operator. The
lanyard is coiled to make its at‑rest condition as short as possible to minimize the likelihood of lanyard entanglement
with nearby objects. Its stretched‑out length is made to minimize the likelihood of accidental activation should the
operator choose to move around in an area close to the normal operator's position. If it is desired to have a shorter
lanyard, wrap the lanyard around the operator's wrist or leg, or tie a knot in the lanyard.

•Important safety information: The purpose of a lanyard stop switch is to stop the engine when the operator
moves far enough away from the operator's position to activate the switch. This would occur if the operator
accidentally falls overboard or moves within the boat a sufficient distance from the operator's position. Falling
overboard and accidental ejections are more likely to occur in certain types of boats such as low‑sided inflatables,
bass boats, high performance boats, and light, sensitive handling fishing boats operated by a hand tiller. Falling
overboard and accidental ejections are also likely to occur as a result of poor operating practices such as sitting on
the back of the seat or gunwale at planing speeds, standing at planing speeds, sitting on elevated fishing boat
decks, operating at planing speeds in shallow or obstacle‑infested waters, releasing your grip on a steering wheel or
tiller handle that is pulling in one direction, drinking alcohol or consuming drugs, or daring high speed boat
maneuvers.
• While activation of the lanyard stop switch will stop the engine immediately, a boat will continue to coast for some
distance depending upon the velocity and degree of any turn at shut down. However, the boat will not complete a
full circle. While the boat is coasting, it can cause injury to anyone in the boat's path as seriously as the boat would
when under power.
• We strongly recommend that other occupants be instructed on proper starting and operating procedures should
they be required to operate the engine in an emergency (e.g. if the operator is accidentally ejected).
! WARNING
If the operator falls out of the boat, stop the engine immediately to reduce the possibility of serious injury or death from
being struck by the boat. Always properly connect the operator to the stop switch using a lanyard.
! WARNING
Avoid serious injury or death from deceleration forces resulting from accidental or unintended stop switch activation. The
boat operator should never leave the operator's station without first disconnecting the stop switch lanyard from the operator.
Accidental or unintended activation of the switch during normal operation is also a possibility. This could cause any,
or all, of the following potentially hazardous situations:
• Occupants could be thrown forward due to unexpected loss of forward motion ‑ a particular concern for passengers
in the front of the boat who could be ejected over the bow and possibly struck by the gearcase or propeller.
• Loss of power and directional control in heavy seas, strong current, or high winds.
• Loss of control when docking.
5. Control handle ‑ Operation of the shift and throttle is controlled by the movement of the control handle. Push the control
handle forward from neutral with a quick firm motion to the first detent for forward gear. Continue pushing forward to
increase speed. Pull the control handle back from neutral with a quick firm motion to the first detent for reverse gear.
Continue pushing back to increase speed.
NOTICE
Failure to rotate the propeller shaft when shifting gears or forcing the shift mechanism while the engine is not operating can
result in product damage. If you must shift gears with the engine off, manually rotate the propeller shaft in the appropriate
direction.
6. Control handle friction adjustment nut ‑ This nut can be adjusted to increase or decrease the tension on the control
handle. This will help prevent creep of the remote control handle. Turn the screw clockwise to increase the tension, and
counterclockwise to decrease the tension. The control handle friction adjustment nut is factory set to a predetermined
amount of friction but can be adjusted to a desired tension.
NOTE: Control handle friction adjustments must be made prior to the installation of the remote control module to the
bezel.

IMPORTANT: GEN II throttle and shift cables are required with the GEN II remote controls. The remote control cables must
be the correct length. Sharp bends when the cables are too short result in kinks. Cables that are too long require unnecessary
bends and/or loops. Both conditions place extra stress on the cables resulting in unfavorable shift and throttle operation. The
minimum bend radius of the remote control cable is 30.5 cm (12 in.). For applications that require a smaller than the minimum
radius, multiple bends or lengths longer than 5.5 m (18 ft), Mercury/Quicksilver GEN II Platinum or Premium cables are
required. Refer to the Mercury Precision Parts Accessories Guide.

IMPORTANT: When selecting the mounting area for the panel mount remote control, the area located directly behind the
mounting panel must have sufficient clearance for the control module, wiring harness, control cables, and control cable
movement. Refer to the Required Mounting Clearances for GEN II Pistol Grip Fingertip Lock Release Panel Mount Control.
IMPORTANT: Allow sufficient clearance for the control handle movement. Avoid interference with the boat components or
other accessories. Ensure the control handle clears the dash, seats, steering wheel, and any other obstructions.
Bezel Location and Drilling Mounting Area
IMPORTANT: The mounting surface for the bezel should be a flat and ridged platform, preferably constructed with one of the
following: aluminum, fiberglass, or plywood reinforced with fiberglass. One layer of vinyl between the bezel and ridged
mounting platform is acceptable. All foam should be removed between the bezel and the ridged mounting platform. To ensure
a robust installation, the mounting platform must not exceed 2.54 cm (1 in.) thickness.
NOTE: The remote control template supplied with this instruction sheet will allow the installer to rotate and mount the remote
control module in 30° increments. Allow for proper clearance behind the mounting area when selecting the mounting area for
the remote control.
1. Locate the area of the boat where the panel mount remote control is to be mounted. Allow sufficient clearance for the
control handle movement, remote control module, and control cables behind the mounting area.
2. Use the template supplied with these instructions and place the template over the mounting platform surface.
3. Secure the template to the mounting platform surface with tape. Cut and drill the mounting platform surface as instructed
on the template.
IMPORTANT: After cutting and drilling the mounting platform, use a suitable tool to remove all of the sharp edges on the
inside and outside of the mounting platform cutout to prevent chafing of the harnesses.

Typical Throttle and Shift Cable Installation, Outboard and Mercury MerCruiser
! WARNING
Improper installation can result in sudden, unexpected loss of throttle and shift control, resulting in serious injury or death.
Install all control components properly.
IMPORTANT: Threads of the control cable fastener screws contain a threadlocker. Additional threadlocker should not be
applied during the original installation. If the screws are installed and then removed for any reason, apply an appropriate
amount of Loctite 271 Threadlocker on the screw threads and tighten to the specified torque. Failure to apply Loctite 271
Threadlocker on the cable fastener screw threads, or to tighten screws to the specified torque, can lead to the screws
loosening, which could result in loss of throttle or shift control.
IMPORTANT: Applying too much Loctite can result in the locking agent contacting other moving parts of the control,
preventing or limiting proper operation.
