Turning off the starboard outer engine while underway will cause the starboard inner engine to go into
forced neutral/idle. Operation to the inner engine can be restored by turning the starboard outer engine
ignition key to the on position and moving the starboard control handle back into neutral position and
then re-engaging. The inner engine speed and gear shift will then be controlled by the starboard control
handle.
Turning off the port outer engine while underway will cause the port inner engine to go into forced neutral/
idle. Operation to the inner engine can be restored by turning the port outer engine ignition key to the on
position and moving the port control handle back into neutral position and then re-engaging. The inner
engine speed and gear shift will then be controlled by the port control handle.
Turning off one of the inner engines while underway will have no effect on the operation of the outer
engines.
If a failure should occur while underway which causes the starboard outer engines into forced neutral/
idle condition, the inner starboard engine will also be forced to neutral/idle. Operation to the inner engine
can be restored by moving the starboard control handle back into neutral and then re-engaging.
If a failure should occur while underway which causes the port outer engines into forced neutral/idle
condition, the inner port engine will also be forced to neutral/idle. Operation to the inner engine can be
restored by moving the port control handle back into neutral and then re-engaging.
