Center engine throttle and
shift = neutral/idle unless
both control handles are in
the same gear
Turning off one of the outer engines while underway will cause the center engine to go into forced neutral/
idle. Operation to the center engine can be restored by moving the control handle of the functioning outer
engine back into neutral position and then re-engaging. The center engine speed and gear shift will then
be controlled by the functioning outer engine.
Turning off the center engine while underway will have no effect on the operation of the outer engines.
If a failure should occur while underway which causes one of the outer engines into forced neutral/idle
condition, the center engine will also be forced to neutral/idle. Operation to the center engine can be
restored by moving the control handle of the functioning outer engine back into neutral and then re-
engaging.
QUAD ENGINE THROTTLE AND SHIFT OPERATION
Movement of the handles on the remote control allows the boat operator to control the engine throttle
speed and gear shift positions of all four engines.
The throttle and shift function is dependant on what engines are running. Refer to the following table.
