GENERAL
Control systems permit operation of the engine's
throttle and shift mechanisms. Typically, they consist
of three major components; the control, the throttle
and shift cables.
The SL stern drive models are equipped with single
engine side-mount con trol with trim. See Figures F1
and F2. The left lever controls the port engine and the
right lever controls the starboard engine. Moving the
lever forward will shift the drive into forward. Moving it
aft will shift the drive into reverse. Moving the lever
further will increase engine speed.

NOTICE
Allow the engine to warm up before engaging
the shift control. Monitor all instruments while
engine is idling during warm-up.
