ing during test procedure. If remote control ca-
bles are connected to outboard, turn propeller
shaft while shifting remote control.

Remote control must shift smoothly and accu-
rately into FORWARD, NEUTRAL, and RE-
VERSE and throttle must move smoothly
through the entire throttle range from IDLE to
FULL THROTTLE (WOT). Check throttle opera-
tion in both FORWARD and REVERSE.
