Gear Shift & Throttle Control
To reverse power, bring the control lever back to engage
the reverse gear and increase the reverse thrust.
The throttle control regulates the RPM of the engine.
Regulating the RPM of the engine will control the speed
of the boat. Pulling back on the gear shift/throttle control
while moving at a high speed will cause a sudden slowing
of the boat and will create a following wake which may
rise above the transom and flood the boat. Understanding
your boat and its reactions at speed will make boating for
you safer and more enjoyable.
Power Trim Operation
The power trim & tilt system allows you to raise and
lower the engine outdrive for trailering, launching and
beaching. This also allows for ideal boat angle (in relation
to the water surface) for a given load and water condition.
In most cases, best all-round performance is obtained
with the engine adjusted so that the boat will run at a 3°
to 5° angle to the water. The power trim is located on the
inboard side of the gear shift/throttle lever handle.
NOTE: Boats can be operated in a manner and at
certain speeds resulting in trim angles that could
cause visibility to be obscured. Motor trim, hull trim
plane angles (if equipped), boat load distribution and
speed are factors that affect a boat’s trim angle.
Your boat is equipped with a gear shift/throttle control
unit mounted on the console directly starboard of the
steering wheel. The gear shift/throttle control unit for the
engine activates both shifting mechanism and throttle.
The control must be in the “NEUTRAL” position to
start your engine. Neutral is the most upright position
of the control unit and acts as an idle, the propeller is
not rotating.
There is a “throttle only” button at the center of the
throttle control that when depressed will disengage the
shifting mechanism and will allow you to operate the
throttle without engaging the propeller. This button will
automatically engage the shifting mechanism once the
throttle control has been moved back to its center position
(you will hear and feel a click when it is engaged).
Moving the lever forward engages the forward gear and
then the throttle advance.
Shift only when engine is running. Pause in neutral
while shifting, wait for boat to lose headway, and
then shift quickly. Easing into gear can damage
the engine.
