Throttle Lever
The throttle lever controls both the throttle and the transmission.
The idle position (normally vertical) is the zero throttle position
and the neutral position for the transmission. A safety ring
(umbrella) keeps the lever from being accidentally moved to
engage the transmission.
To place the transmission into gear, with your hand placed over
the lever ball, pull up on the safety ring (umbrella) and slowly
push the lever into forward gear or slowly pull the lever back
into reverse gear.
Never shift the lever directly from the neutral (vertical) position
into a speed position.
• To prevent damage to the transmission, always allow the
transmission time to engage before accelerating the engine.
• Once the transmission’s engaged, you may accelerate as
quickly as you like.
The Transmission Lockout button allows the transmission to
be disengaged while giving the throttle full operating range.
With the lever in the idle position (normally vertical), push the
button located at the bottom of the lever to disengage the
transmission. The throttle may then be operated in any open
position (forward of neutral or back of neutral upright position).
Return the throttle to idle position, and the transmission lockout
will automatically reengage the transmission in neutral position.

Optional Water Strainer
The optional engine water strainer is a lter for the engine
cooling water. It is recommended for boats that are going to
be operated in weedy conditions or other areas where debris
could clog the engine. It consists of a stainless steel mesh lter
inside a clear cup. It is located between the water intake on the
bottom of the boat and the engine’s raw water pump. It should
be checked periodically for debris as conditions dictate. To
remove debris, unscrew the clear sight cup, remove the o-ring
and stainless steel mesh lter and proceed to rinse out the cup.
Be sure to reinstall the mesh lter and o-ring before reattaching
the sight cup to the inlet.
Optional Water Strainer & Fresh Water Flush
The optional Fresh Water Flush kit is a valve specifically
designed to allow you to attach a garden hose to your engine
water intake to ush brackish or salt water out of your engine.
To use the Fresh Water Flush, simply attach a garden hose to
the valve. Turn on the water to the valve. Start the engine.
Monitor the exhaust ports on the transom of your boat and
engine temperature gauge. Water should come out of the
exhaust ports while the engine is running. It is recommended
that you run the engine at a low RPM while ushing, since
the engine’s raw water pump at higher RPMs can pump more
water than the garden hose can supply. If you have questions
on the operation of your Fresh Water Flush kit, consult your
Supra Dealer.
