Panel Mount Features

Lanyard Stop Switch - Turns the ignition off whenever the operator (when attached to the
lanyard) moves far enough away from the operator's position to activate the switch. Refer
to Lanyard Stop Switch for information on the use of this switch.
Control Handle - Operation of the shift and throttle are controlled by the movement of the
control handle. Push the control handle forward from neutral with a quick, firm motion to
the first detent for forward gear. Continue pushing forward to increase speed. Pull the
control handle back from neutral with a quick, firm motion to the first detent for reverse gear
and continue pushing back to increase speed.
Shift Lock - Pressing the shift lock allows the engine to shift. The shift lock must always
be pressed when moving the control handle out of the neutral position.
Trim/Tilt Switch (if equipped) - Refer to Power Trim.
Throttle Only Button - Allows engine throttle advancement without shifting the engine.
The throttle only button can be depressed only when the remote control is in the neutral
position, and should only be used to assist in starting or warming up the engine.
Start/Stop Button - Allows the boat operator to start or stop the engine without using the
ignition key.
Detent Tension Adjustment Screw - This screw can be adjusted to increase or decrease
the effort required to move the control handle out of the detent positions (cover must be
removed). Turning the screw clockwise will increase tension.
Control Handle Friction Adjustment Screw - This screw can be adjusted to increase or
decrease the tension on the control handle (cover must be removed). This will help prevent
unwanted motion of the handle in rough water. Turn the screw clockwise to increase
tension and counterclockwise to decrease tension.
