Your vessel uses a single lever
remote control similar to the
illustration.
To help visualize the
operating principals we have
used a clock mode. The lever
in the straight-up or 12
o’clock (neutral) position is
detented and features a push
button (see illustration) which
allows advancing the throttle
for neutral or starting the
engine without engaging the
gearshift. This feature is useful when trying to start a cold engine.
Pushing the throttle lever forward from the neutral 12 o’clock position
to the 11 o’clock position will engage forward gear with minimum
throttle. From the 11 o’clock position to the 9 o’clock position the
vessel is in forward gear with forward throttle selections.
Pulling the throttle back from the neutral 12 o’clock position to the 1
o’clock position will engage reverse gear with minimum throttle. From
the 1 o’clock position to the 3 o’clock position the vessel is in reverse
gear with reverse throttle selections.
As you shift from neutral to forward or reverse positions, push up on
the neutral interlock button located under the gearshift knob. This will
allow the control to shift into the desired gear.

Neutral Safety Switch
The remote control features a neutral safety switch which ensures the
stern drive and control handle are in the detented neutral position for
starting the engine.
