6. Engine Control
Your boat comes with a mechanical gear shi/throle control unit, located to the starboard of the
steering wheel, which acvates both the shiing and throle for the engine.
To start the engine, the control unit must be in the NEUTRAL posion. When in neutral, the engine is
running, but the propeller is not spinning. There is a throle only buon that when pressed, will allow
you to operate the throle without the propeller spinning. On the mechanical shi controller, the
buon is located at the center of the throle control, and when moved back to the center posion,
the buon will automacally re-engage the shiing mechanism.
