Dual Handle Yacht Console Control—Operation and Adjustment

Operation

Operation of shift and throttle is controlled by the movement of the control handle. Push the control handle forward from neutral
to the first detent for forward gear. Continue pushing the handle forward to increase speed. Pull the control handle back from
neutral to the first detent for reverse gear. Continue pulling the handle back to increase speed.

Adjustment

1. Control handle tension 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. Adjust to tension desired.
2. Detent tension adjustment screw ‑ This screw can be adjusted to increase or decrease the effort to move control handle
out of detent positions (cover must be removed). Turning the screw clockwise will increase tension. Adjust to tension
desired.
