CONCEALED SIDE MOUNT REMOTE CONTROL
Use this control for single outboard - single station installations.
*The NEUTRAL/RPM switch is an optional accessory.
NEUTRAL LED
This LED is located on the NEUTRAL/RPM switch and is used to provide information to the
operator. Regardless of the operating condition the LED will follow control lever NEUTRAL po-
sition, not actual gear position. Its brightness will not change when battery voltage fluctuates.
If the LED is flashing five times per second it indicates a critical fault.

TURNING THE SYSTEM ON
1) Connect the emergency stop lanyard to the key switch and your personal flotation
device.
2) Move the control lever to the NEUTRAL detent.
3) Turn the main station key switch to ON.
4) The NEUTRAL LED will illuminate.
Troubleshooting Tip: If the system does not turn ON:
• be sure the safety lanyard is connected to the key switch
• check the 3A fuse on the public network power supply cable
• check the 10A fuse on the private network power supply cable
If the NEUTRAL LED is flashing five times per second, a critical fault is present and must be
cleared.
WARNING
Emergency stop lanyard MUST be securely attached to the operator, and clip MUST
be installed to its switch. DO NOT operate outboard with clip removed from switch,
except in an emergency.
Avoid knocking or pulling clip off the stop switch during normal boating. Avoid
bumping the key if operating without the clip on the switch. The resulting unexpected
loss of FORWARD motion can throw occupants FORWARD causing injury. Keep the
lanyard free from obstructions and entanglements.
At each outing, test the system’s operation. With the outboard running, remove clip
from the switch by pulling the lanyard. If the outboard does not stop running, see
your dealer.

WINTERIZATION
Use this function to inject additional quantities of oil into the outboard for safe long term stor-
age.
1) Turn the key switch to OFF. Move the lever to the FORWARD wide open throttle posi-
tion.
2) Turn the key switch to ON and wait a minimum of (3) seconds.
3) Attempt to start the outboard (3) times within three seconds (the starter will not engage
or crank the outboard).
4) Move the lever to NEUTRAL and start the outboard. Run at idle for a minimum of (3)
seconds.
5) While running, attempt to start the engine (3) times within (3) seconds (the starter will
not engage or crank the outboard).
The remote control will send the winterization message to the outboard using the public net-
work. The outboard will automatically turn OFF when the process is complete.
After initiation of the winterization process, the remote control will ignore all throttle, gear, and
control head switch operations. The control will still acknowledge Key OFF and/or Emergency
Stop inputs.
Troubleshooting Tip: Be sure the throttle lever is all the way in the FORWARD wide open
throttle position when starting winterization.

15
FOOT THROTTLE CONTROL
The foot throttle control is an optional accessory available only for the concealed side mount
control.
The default configuration for a concealed side mount control is to use the hand throttle input.
Foot Throttle Operation
When the foot throttle is selected, the control handle input is used only for gear selection.
Throttle control is only taken from the foot pedal position.
During the power on sequence, the control will determine whether the foot or hand throttle in-
put is the selected.
Foot Throttle Control Transfer
Control of throttle input may be transferred between the hand and foot inputs using:
• the Evinrude Diagnostics program - see your authorized dealer.
• the Evinrude digital touch screen display - see display user’s guide.
Control transfer to or from the foot throttle can only be initiated when the control and outboard
EMM are at NEUTRAL idle (outboard running or not running). The throttle source selection is
retained in the remote control.
Foot Throttle Control NEUTRAL Selected Gear Position
When the hand control lever is in NEUTRAL, there will be no restrictions on the foot pedal
command. A NEUTRAL revolution limiter will be enforced if the commanded load results in
excessive outboard speed.
Foot Throttle Control Forward/Reverse Selected Gear Position
When the control lever is changing from FORWARD or REVERSE position to NEUTRAL (or
the opposite direction) and foot pedal is requesting a throttle command of 5% or greater, the
system will enter a neutral idle state until the control lever returns to the neutral idle position.

16
FAULT DETECTION
A critical fault will prevent normal operation and result in the system entering a failed state.
The control will:
• send “not available” data in the throttle and gear messages
• deactivate NEUTRAL Throttle Warm-Up mode
• send the fault message and/or alarm
• store the fault in memory
• flash the appropriate control head LED(s) five times per second
• When the control detects that the outboard is in NEUTRAL idle and the working lever is in
NEUTRAL, the system returns to normal operation.
