What it Yamaha 704-48205-R1-00 - CONTROL BINN SINGLE (CHROME)

OEM top-mount (binnacle) mechanical control for a single Yamaha outboard with mechanical throttle/shift. The 704 puts trim/tilt on the handle, includes a neutral warm-up feature, and has external throttle-friction adjustment for fine feel at cruise.

Compatibility (read first)

• Works with Yamaha mechanical-control outboards (not DEC/drive-by-wire).
• Typically paired with Yamaha main harnesses (10-pin/command harness family) and Yamaha mechanical control cables.
• Model-year coverage varies – confirm by engine model/PID in Yamaha rigging schematics or your service manual before purchasing.
• Not for Helm Master EX / digital electronic controls.

If you’re replacing an older 704 or converting from a side-mount box, verify harness connectors, key switch style, trim wiring, and cable end types to avoid mix-and-match issues.

Key features (at a glance)

• Top-mount single-lever binnacle for throttle & shift
• Trim/Tilt switch on the handle (thumb-operated)
• Neutral warm-up (advance throttle without engaging gear)
• Externally adjustable throttle friction
• Chrome/rounded housing suitable for modern consoles
• OEM geometry for correct shift detents and throttle travel

(Ignition/key switch is not integrated with this control; see “Related parts.”)

Install basics

1. Mounting: Position on the helm surface; drill/cut to the template; secure per the service manual.
2. Cables: Route Yamaha mechanical control cables (shift & throttle) with wide bends; connect to the engine levers at the specified holes.
3. Harness: Connect the main harness and trim/tilt leads; confirm kill-switch/neutral-safety circuit.
4. Adjustments: Set cable throw, shift detent alignment, and throttle friction.
5. Function check: Verify start/stop, neutral-start interlock, forward/reverse engagement, and trim operation before launch.

Use the Yamaha rigging/service manual for your exact engine. If you haven’t rigged a binnacle before, consider an ABYC-certified marine technician.

Typical tools you’ll need

• Hole saw/jigsaw (per template), deburring tool
• Metric sockets, screwdrivers, torque wrench
• Marine sealant for fasteners/penetrations
• Dielectric grease for connectors; loom/ties for strain relief

Related parts (commonly paired)

• Yamaha main control harness (engine/length specific; e.g., 10-pin family)
• Yamaha mechanical control cables (select correct length; pair for FWD/REV & throttle)
• Ignition/key switch panel (if you’re relocating/refreshing the helm)
• Emergency stop switch & lanyard
• Trim/tilt harness adapters (if needed for your model year)

• Concealed side-mount (6X6): Hidden mechanism with separate handle; mechanical.
• Digital/DEC (Helm Master EX): Not compatible with 704 – uses electronic control heads and dedicated digital harnessing.

FAQs about Yamaha 704-48205-R1-00 - CONTROL BINN SINGLE (CHROME)

 

Is the 704-48205-R0-00 compatible with my engine?

If your Yamaha is a mechanical-control outboard (not digital), it likely qualifies – but confirm by model/PID in Yamaha schematics and match harness/cable interfaces.

Does this include the key switch?

The 704 is a binnacle control only. Pair it with a Yamaha key-switch panel and the proper main harness.

Which cables do I need?

Use Yamaha mechanical control cables in the correct length for your helm-to-engine run. Replace as a pair for best feel.

Can I install it myself?

Experienced DIYers can, following Yamaha rigging specs. Otherwise, use an ABYC-certified installer.

What’s different about the “Premium” version?

The Premium 704 features the rounded chrome housing, trim on the handle, neutral warm-up, and external friction adjustment for refined control feel.
