Controls and engine systems vary greatly from one engine manufacturer to another. Please read your
engine owner's manual carefully.
Note: If your engine package was not factory installed, some components that are
normally standard installations may not be included.
Throttle & Shift Controls
Ignition – Binnacle, Forward, Neutral and Reverse Gear Operation
The binnacle is located at the console forward of the helm seat. To ensure that the binnacle is working
properly, shift the binnacle forward to put the engine in forward gear. Make sure the engine shifts
smoothly into idle with no grinding of the gears. Bring the binnacle back into neutral and repeat the same
process while going into reverse. Again, ensure that there are no gears grinding. It is important to check
the binnacle at wide-open throttle (WOT) to ensure the binnacle is not stiff and operates smoothly while
going into the WOT position.
Actual binnacle will vary depending upon the engine package that was selected.

Key Switch Alarm

The key switch alarm is located in the binnacle and sounds when the ignition key is turned on. The key
switch alarm is actually a warning alarm that will go off in the unlikely event that an overheating problem
occurs with the engine. To check the key switch alarm, turn the ignition key to the right but do not start
the engine. The alarm will sound ensuring that the engine warning alarm is working properly. When
finished, turn the key off.

Lanyard Stop Switch

To ensure the lanyard stop switch (also called the emergency stop feature) on the engine works properly,
first turn on the ignition key and start up the engine. While the engine is running, locate the lanyard stop
switch. The lanyard stop switch is installed in close proximity to the binnacle or the ignition. While the
engine is running in the neutral position, pull the lanyard stop switch downward until the plastic element at
the end of the lanyard pulls the stop switch pin into the off position. This process will automatically stop
the engine and will ensure that the emergency lanyard stop switch is working properly.
