SINGLE-LEVER CONTROLS - SINGLE OR TWIN ENGINE
Single-lever controls operate both the gear shift and the throttle for one engine with
one control lever. Single-lever controls can be used on single- or twin-engine boats.
NEUTRAL - The lever is detented in the NEUTRAL position (center of travel) for
starting; the neutral safety switch allows starting in this position only. For engine
warm-up, a separate lever or button on the control is used to disengage the shift
cable and allow the throttle to advance only while the transmission remains in
NEUTRAL.
FORWARD - Release the detent lock to allow shifting to the FORWARD position.
Moving the lever into the first 15 degrees of travel (toward the bow or up) positions
the control in the FORWARD detent IDLE position. Advancing the lever beyond 15
degrees allows throttle increase in FORWARD.
REVERSE - Release the detent lock to allow shifting to the REVERSE position.
Moving the lever into the first 15 degrees of travel (toward the stern or down)
positions the control in the REVERSE detent idle position. Advancing the lever
beyond 15 degrees allows throttle increase in REVERSE.
