Move the shift lever with a firm, quick motion,
to FORWARD or REVERSE gear.
Speed Control
With the outboard running, twist throttle grip:
• Clockwise to decrease speed; or
• Counterclockwise to increase speed
Throttle Friction
Adjust the throttle friction knob to reduce the

between 625 RPM and 900 RPM (approxi-
mate).
Press and release the – side of the switch to
decrease speed. Press and release the + side

trol and engine systems before leaving
the dock. DO NOT shift the outboard into
