Start in Gear Protection
The remote control connected to the outboard must
be equipped with a start-in-gear protection device.
This prevents the engine from starting in gear.
Avoid serious injury or death from a sudden un-
expected acceleration when starting your engine.
The design of this outboard requires that the re-
mote control used with it must have a built in
start-in-gear protection device.
