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.
Trim/Tilt Switch (if equipped) - Refer to Power Trim.
Active Light - The active light is illuminated to show the remote control is active and ready for use.
Neutral Light - The neutral light is illuminated when the engine is in neutral gear position.
NOTE: Gear position is determined by sensing the position of the shift actuator on the engine, not the position of the gear switch.
Stop/Start Button - Allows the boat operator to start or stop the engine without using the ignition key.
Throttle Only/Station Select Key - Allows engine throttle advancement without shifting the engine. The throttle only/station select
button also allows the boat operator to select which remote control is in control of the engine operation when operating with multiple
helms. Refer to Dual Helm Station Transfer.
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.
