SHIFT/THROTTLE LEVER
The shift/throttle levers are connected to the engines by an electronic control system (engine interface). The function of the
shift/throttle levers is to control the engine speed and vessel direction of travel.
The levers allow the captain to shift the engines from neutral to forward or neutral to reverse to control the engines’ RPMs.
See the following lever position guide:
1. FORWARD – Above Neutral Position: Shifts the engines to forward and increases the RPM levels
2. NEUTRAL – Center Position: The engines remain in neutral at their lowest RPM levels.
3. REVERSE – Below Neutral Position: Shifts the engines to reverse and increases the RPM level
NOTE: Carver recommends operating the engines at the same speed while cruising. Doing so reduces engine
noise, reduces engine vibration, and improves engine efciency.
Please refer to engine control manuals for more in-depth information on the operation of the engine’s control system.
