Quicksilver 505OP — System & Component Overview and Operaon
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.
Power Trim & Tilt
The power trim, located on the side of the gear shi throle handle, allows you to raise and lower the
engine for trailering and launching the boat. It also allows you to adjust the engine to create the
opmum run angle for the boat to achieve best all around performance (fuel consumpon, speed).
Refer to the engine manufacturer’s manual for complete instrucons, informaon and warranty.
