The throttle that was installed with my new 2011 OptiMax 250 outboard is a Mercury Remote Control Single With Trim (part # 8M0041431). I need to disconnect the unit's cables in order to remove the console from the boat. A shot of the cables: http://www.inkbox.net/whaler/parts/throttle-cables.jpg These appear to be wrapped in tape. Any suggestions on what's involved in disconnecting (and reconnecting) them? Is any special adjustment required when I reconnect them? |

Looks like the tape was put on just to protect the cables near the entrance to the fittings. Just pull it off! The cables disconnect from the control very easily: Unscrew and remove the black plastic cover plate and you will see how they are connected. 5 minute job....Good luck! |

Thanks, I found the installation leaflet from the shop that did the rigging, and it does look pretty straightforward. |
