DOMETIC CA27319P Adaptor Kit Instruction Manual
NOTICE!
Installer: These instructions contain important safety information and must be
forwarded to the boat owner
These kits are used to adapt 3300/33C type control cables manufactured by Dometic to throttle and shift levers on Mercruiser I/O engines and Mercury outboard engines.
WARNING!
Before starting installation read these instructions thoroughly. Failure to follow these instructions or incorrect assembly can result in loss of control and cause property damage or personal injury.
Do not substitute parts from other manufacturers. They may cause a safety hazard for which Dometic cannot accept responsibility.
Cable installation and motor connection must be made in accordance with the motor manufacturer’s instructions.
To ensure the best remote control performance, free operation of all motor linkage is essential. Follow all the motor manufacturer’s recommended procedures for adjustment and lubrication.
Assembly instructions
-
Remove jam nut, wiper cap, and swivel boot from one end of each cable (see figure 1). Save jam nut and wiper cap for reuse.
Figure 1.
-
Slide one adaptor (item 1) over engine end of each cable until slot in adaptor hub is aligned with groove in cable end fitting, as shown in figure 2. Insert retainer spring (item 2). into slot as shown, and snap into place. Use position “C” for 1978 model year engines, with the exception of shift for 40 HP outboard. In this case, the spring should be in position “D” (see figure 3). For other model year engines, consult the manufacturer’s manual for cable travel dimensions. Make sure retainer spring is fully seated locking adaptor securely to cable.

-
Place an anchor nut (item 3) over undercut “B” as shown in figure 3.
Press firmly on anchor nut to snap it into position. Replace wiper cap over swivel tube as shown
Figure 3.
-
Thread a jam nut onto each cable rod, exposing 3/4” (19 mm) of thread. Thread a connector (item 4) onto rod end of each cable until jam nut is touched. Tighten jam nuts securely against connectors.
Assembly adjustment
In order to meet the proper dimensional requirements specified by the motor
manufacturer for different installations, a number of adjustments are possible
(see figure 3). The anchor nut may be placed in one of the two grooves in the
adaptor, providing an adjustment of 3/4” (19 mm).
The cable end of the Adaptor has two locating slots 5/16” (8 mm) apart for
additional adjustment. Should this be required, remove the retaining spring,
being careful not to damage or deform it.
WARNING!
Do not attempt to repair a bent or damaged spring. It must be replaced.
A damaged spring could allow the adaptor to slide freely on cable, with
subsequent loss of control.
Align the desired locating slot with groove in cable end fitting, and replace retaining spring. Check to make sure that adaptor is locked securely to cable end.
The connector may be un-threaded up to 3/8” (9 mm) for fine adjustment.
A minimum thread engagement of 3/8” (9 mm) must be maintained to ensure
mechanical integrity. After this adjustment has been made, tighten jam nut
securely against base of connector.
CAUTION!
Before starting engine, check the entire assembly. Operate the controls and
watch motions of throttle and shift connections. Ensure that all connections
are correct and tightened securely.
WARNING!
On some engine it is necessary to rotate the propeller in order to engage the
shift positions. Disconnect the battery to avoid inadvertently starting the
engine.
