yam control box & cables

[davej]

Hi

I need to replace the yam 703 & cables on my dive club Tornado 5,5, I have the new 703 and cables ready to fit and before I start the job would like to seek some advice as to where the difficulities might arise? The engine is 1994 115hp 2 stroke and all the cables and wires run in a plastic tube from the seat module to the back end. Are there any specificic issues with adjusting the cable ends where they fit on the engine?

Thanks
Dave

The biggest problem you'll have is if you open the controls up to fit the cables without taking detailed pics. They're a sod to get back together and quite counter-intuitive.

Hopefully your new ones already have the cables fitted!

It's worth pre setting the cable lengths to the same as the old ones before installation, that way they'll be somewhere near.

Thanks very much, will be having a go at this one evening next week.

You might also check the electrical plug to make sure that it has the same number of pins. Not all Yam control boxes are the same. Another expensive lesson learnt the hard way.

The box itself can be rigged either as push or pull for both cables hence Matts suggestion of take photos the first time. Lots of grease before you seal it all up.
