Remote Controls (Two Lever)

1
Shift Lever - shifts unit into gear with full lever movement. Move
lever forward to shift to FORWARD gear. Move lever backward to
shift to REVERSE gear. Lever in full vertical position shifts to
NEUTRAL.
Never shift unit into or out of gear unless throttle lever is at idle
RPM.
2
Throttle Lever - allows engine RPM to be increased or decreased.
3
FRICTION Screw - adjusts control handle friction so motor speed
can be set and driver does not have to hold handle.
Turn screw clockwise to increase friction. Do not thread screw all the
way out.
4
DETENT Screw - controls the effort needed to move control
handle out of NEUTRAL. To increase tension, turn screw clockwise;
to decrease, turn screw counterclockwise. Do not thread screw all
the way out.
IMPORTANT: Boats equipped with dual power packages may
have both shift levers on one control and both throttle levers on
the other control.
