voltage regulator connection or loose belts. Low voltage
readings after stopping the engine indicate a bad battery or
a heavy load on the battery. Refer to your engine owner’s
manual for proper gauge readings.
CONTROLS
Knowing how to use the controls on your boat is essential
for safe and proper operation. The controls described in
this section may be optional or may vary slightly from those
on your boat.
Throttle and Gearshift
The controls on your boat may vary from model to model
and will depend on the engine supplied with your boat. The
control described here is typical of the operation of most
throttle/gearshift controls. Check the engine or control
manual or see your dealer for more detailed information.
A single-lever control integrates the throttle and gearshift
into a single hand lever. It allows the operator to control
both the engine operating speed and the forward and aft
movement of the boat. This type of design ensures safe
control of the engine with one hand.
The lever functions as shifter during the first 15º of motion.
Beyond 15º it functions as a throttle. Pushing the lever
toward the full throttle position increases engine speed.
There is no lock or detent in the shifter so caution must be
taken to prevent an inadvertent move of the lever which
would cause unexpected boat movement.
Following are a few helpful operating tips:
• When shifting between forward and reverse, always
pause in neutral for a few seconds before reversing
propeller rotation to prevent damage to the engine and
drive.
• High speed acceleration in reverse, especially for deck
boats, can create a wake that could wash over the
