B. Cold / Warm Engine Start (EFI Engines)
1. Move the control handle to neutral detent (idle)
position. The position of the control handle is
typically in the center or straight up position of the
control. See Figure A1. Notice as you push the
shifter control to the neutral position you will feel
the neutral detent engage thus indicating you are
in neutral. Note: A "start-in-neutral-only" feature
prevents starting the engine while in gear.

starts, for no longer than 10 seconds. If engine
does not start, let go momentarily, then try again.

or RUN.

C. Shifting and Control Speed
1. Move shifter control to the neutral detent (idle)
position. This will engage neutral start switch and
allow engine to start. Move the throttle control
to the idle position.
DO NOT shift into FORWARD or REVERSE
unless engine is running. Damage to the shift
system could result from trying to shift without
the engine running. Carefully check function of
all control and engine systems before leaving
the dock.
2. To go FORWARD - move the shifter control
forward.
3. To go in REVERSE - move the shifter control
rearward.
NOTICE
DO NOT shift from forward to reverse when
the boat is planing.
NOTICE
DO NOT shift if engine speed is over 800 rpm.
4. To go from FORWARD to REVERSE, or
REVERSE to FORWARD; always pause at
NEUTRAL and allow engine speed to return
to idle.
5. After shifting is completed, move the shifter control
lever forward or rearward to increase engine
speed.
