Engine & Controls
CHAPTER 3
3-27
Pushing the throttle levers 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 levers 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
propulsion unit and control handle are in the detented neutral position
for starting the engines.
Typical Binnacle Control
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 ooding will result.
Today’s engines require very little starting throttle.
