Remote Control Unit

Volvo Penta controls are available in single top-mount, twin top-mount, or single side-mount configurations. The
control levers have an adjustable friction brake and a neutral position switch to ensure that the engine cannot be
started when the drive is in gear.
Your boat may be equipped with remote controls other than those described below. If Volvo Penta controls are not
used, ask your dealer for operating instructions for the remote control used in your boat since operation and
function may differ from Volvo Penta remote controls.

Single Lever Control Operation

Both the gear shift release and engine speed control
are operated using the single lever (1).
N Neutral position (drive is disengaged and the
engine runs at idle speed).
F Drive/forward gear engaged for forward move-
ment (ahead).
R Drive/reverse gear engaged for backward
movement (astern).
T Throttle/engine speed control.
NOTICE! The engine can be started only if the drive
is in neutral.

Shifting from Neutral

To move the remote control lever from the neutral de-
tent position, simply move the control lever in the de-
sired direction.

Disengaging the Shift Function

The gear shift can be disengaged so that the control
lever affects only the engine speed.
1. Move the control lever 2 to the neutral position N.
2. On the EVC control panel, press the NEUTRAL
BUTTON 9 in and hold it down while moving the
control lever forward to the shift position F.
3. Release the NEUTRAL BUTTON. The lever now
affects only the engine speed (RPMs). The
Neutral button LED flashes when in neutral
warm-up mode. When the lever is moved back to
neutral, gear shifting will function normally.
