Ignition Switch Panels
Ignition switch panels are unique to each engine
manufacturer and engine control options selected.
Your dealer will provide you with the proper start-
ing procedure for your boat at the time of delivery.
Additional information for the ignition switch sys-
tem installed in your boat is located in the engine
and control system operating manuals included in
your information packet.
The following instructions is an overview for Ya-
maha and Mercury ignition switch panels com-
monly installed on Blackn boats. Your boat may
be dierent depending on the options selected.
Key Ignition
Each ignition switch is a separate, key activated
switch, located in the helm near the steering
wheel, which starts and stops the engine. Each
switch has OFF-ON and momentary START posi-
tions.
Starting Procedure
To start the engines, make sure the engines are
down, the stop switch lanyard is engaged and
your hand is on the engine control handles in the
neutral position. Turn the port engine ignition
key to the START position briey, then release
the key. The computer will automatically check
all engine systems and start the engine. Once
the engine stabilizes, repeat the starting proce-
dure for the starboard engine. Stop the engines
by turning the key switches to the OFF position.
The ignition circuits are protected by fuses located
on each engine.

ignition panels are “key” pan-
els; which energize the ignition system of multiple
outboards with only one key.
The Start/Stop panel is used in conjunction with the
key panel and features lights which indicate when
outboards are running and a START/STOP button
for each engine. This system greatly simplies the
starting and stopping process of your engines. For
convenience and protection, engines can not be
restarted while running.
Starting procedure
Make sure the engines are down with the shift le-
ver in the neutral position and your hand is on the
control lever. Turn the ignition key to the ON posi-
tion to activate the START button for both engines.
