CHAPTER 3
You will hear a distinct sound and
will “feel” the remote control in
the detended neutral position. If
you turn the key to the “start”
position and the engine starter
doesn’t crank over the engine
make sure the remote control is
in the detented neutral position.
Remember these points when shifting :
1. Do not shift quickly from
forward to reverse gear postition.
Drive system damage may occur.
2. Do not “pump” the throttle in
neutral or flooding will result.
Today’s engines require very little
starting throttle.
3. Do not try to shift into forward or reverse gear at high rpm’s as
personal injury, drive system or property damage may result.
4. Remember to squeeze the shift interlock button to engage the remote
control into forward or reverse.
4. Only use idle throttle positions when docking or maneuvering in
tight quarters.
5. Wear your safety lanyard at all times.
6. Never shift the controls with the engine not running. Control,
linkage and or stern drive damage may occur. For more information
read your engine operator’s manual for more details on controls.
