Quicksilver 810 Arvor - Engine Controls; Emergency Engine Shutdown Switch

Quicksilver 810 Arvor — System & Component Overview and Operaon
28
Exhaust System
Your boat is equipped with a thru hull exhaust system with an inline muer located on the starboard
side of the boat. Water from the cooling system enters the exhaust system through the engine
exhaust manifold, where water and exhaust are mixed. Water and exhaust is then pumped through
the muer and then overboard through the exhaust outlet. Make sure water is owing from the
exhaust outlet while the engine is operang.
Prior to every boat use, examine the exhaust system ngs to ensure ghtness.
14. Engine Controls
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.
Moving the control lever forward from neutral engages the forward gear and thrust. Moving the
control lever backwards from neutral engages the reverse gear and thrust. The throle lever controls
the RPM of the engine and the speed of the boat.

Trolling Mode
Installed on the transmission, there is a trolling valve that is controlled by a Vernier control head and
cable located on the dash. The trolling valve allows for engine operaon below the normal idle in
gear speed. To operate:
1. Using the mechanical gear shi / throle control unit, shi the engine to NEUTRAL.
2. Allow the engine rpm to slow down to low idle.
3. Using the Vernier control, push the red buon and pull the control handle out to increase the
engine speed. To slow the engine down, push the cable in toward the dash. By twisng the
control handle, small adjustments in the engine RPM can be achieved.

15. Emergency Engine Shutdown Switch
Your boat is equipped with an ignion shutdown safety switch built into the engine control. For a
boat with an exterior helm, the emergency engine shutdown switch is located at the exterior engine
control only, not the main interior helm. For a boat with only the main interior helm, the emergency
engine shutdown switch is located on the interior engine control.
The ignion shutdown switch incorporates a shut-o switch and a lanyard. Before operang the boat,
one end of the lanyard must be connected to the shut-o switch while the other end is connected to
the operator. If an emergency arises where the engine must be shut down, pull the lanyard cord to
release it from the shut-o switch, which in turn shuts down the engine. This switch is designed to
shut the engine o when the operator of the boat leaves the control staon, either accidently by
falling into the boat, or by being ejected overboard.
