Your boat may be equipped with one of
many Quicksilver® remote controls avail-
able. All controls feature an integral safety
switch that allows starting engine in
NEUTRAL only. Also, all controls may not

shifting.
3 THROTTLE ONLY Button - allows
engine throttle advancement without
shifting gears to assist engine starting.
