Engines & Controls
3-15
You will hear a distinct sound and will
“feel” the remote control in the 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 neutral position.
Remember these points when shifting :
1. Do not shift from forward to reverse gear position with the engine
not running as component damage may result.
2. Do not “pump” the throttle in neutral or fl ooding 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. Never shift the controls with the engine not running. Control, linkage
and or stern drive damage may occur.
*Always attach safety lanyard to a belt or substantial garment before
starting engine.
For more information on controls refer to engine operator’s manual.
