Engine Throttles

There is one throttle for each engine
tates the speed of the boat through the water. The throttle combines direction and power in one unit.
Moving the throttle forward increases the engine speed until full forward power is reached. Moving the
throttle aft puts the boat in reverse. Continued aft movement of the throttle increases engine speed until
full power is reached. The middle detent is the NEUTRAL position. The engines will not start unless the
throttles are in the NEUTRAL position.
Work with your dealer for instructions on the best way of handling throttle control.
Ensure someone is at the controls at all times.
