REMOTE CONTROLS
NOTICE
Your Formula boat is equipped with a
safety switch for "start-in-neutral-only"
operation. Be sure the shift lever is in
NEUTRAL before attempting to start an
engine.
The shift/throttle control on your Formula boat
differs from model to model and may depend on
the engine used. The following information relates
to the general description about remote controls.
Refer to the propulsion unit operator’s manual or
the control operator’s manual for specific use.
The shift lever controls the drive unit or
transmission operation. The throttle lever controls
the engine speed. One of two different types of
controls may be used: a single lever which
combines both shift and throttle functions for each
engine/drive, and a dual lever with one lever
controlling the shift function and the other lever
controlling the throttle.
Single Lever Controls
Single lever shift/throttle controls are grouped
together for easier one-hand operation. When the
lever(s) is “centered” in the detent position, the
transmission is in NEUTRAL. Pushing the lever(s)
forward engages the forward gear – continue
pushing to increase engine speed. Pulling the
lever(s) back engages the reverse gear – continue
pulling to increase engine speed.
Dual Lever Controls
Dual lever controls may combine all shift and
throttle controls into a single unit or shift controls
in one unit and throttle controls in a separate unit.
Typical SIngle Lever Controls
The left levers are for the port engine and the right
levers are for the starboard engine. The controls
are arranged with the shift levers (all one size and
color) grouped together and throttle levers (all the
same size and color, and larger than the shift
levers) grouped together.
1. Port Engine Shift Lever
2. Starboard Engine Shift Lever
3. Port Engine Throttle Lever
4. Starboard Engine Throttle Lever
On some models, the shift levers and throttle
levers are in separate units. The shift levers are to
the port side of the helm, while the throttle levers
are to the starboard side.
