Shifting To Forward, Reverse, Throttle Only; Active Indicator Icon - Regal LS4 Owner's Manual

Functions of DEC Control Box Components

Shifting To Forward, Reverse, Throttle Only

To shift control make sure the remote control han-
dle is straight up which is the neutral position and
engine is started and in idle mode. Activation icon
should light blue.
To engage forward gear squeeze the trigger up and
hold trigger momentarily while shifting the remote
control lever forward (toward bow). Once forward
gear is reached by moving the remote control han-
dle further forward increased throttle is obtained
locked in forward gear.
To engage reverse gear squeeze the trigger up and
hold trigger momentarily while shifting the remote
control backward (toward stern). Once reverse
gear is reached by moving the remote control han-
dle further backward increased throttle is obtained
locked in reverse gear.
To obtain a neutral position from a forward or re-
verse gear/throttle location use a crisp, even mo-
tion toward neutral with the remote control handle.
The handle will only regress so far until the neutral
interlock trigger is squeezed up. At this point the
control handle will enter the neutral detent posi-
tion. Remember that the icon blinks only when the
control box is in neutral.
To obtain a "throttle only" neutral position press
and hold the throttle only button. The activation
icon will begin blinking. Release the throttle only
button. While the indicator blinks you can move
the control handle to the desired neutral speed for
engine warm up or idle positioning.
To obtain forward or reverse positions from the
neutral position press the button to turn the neutral
function "off". The control is now ready to shift into
a forward or reverse position.
See photo on previous pages or refer to the Yama-
ha owner's manual for further detailed information.
Trim Buttons
The "up" and "down" trim buttons control the
trim angle of the outboard. Also, there is a trim/
tilt switch located on the engine cowling. Use this
switch for trim/tilt functions only when the vessel
is completely stopped and the engine is shut off.
CAUTION
THE BOAT TRIM SHOULD BE ADJUSTED
TO PROVIDE BALANCED STEERING AS
SOON AS POSSIBLE EACH TIME YOU GET
UNDERWAY. SOME BOAT/ENGINE/
PROPELLER COMBINATIONS MAY
CREATE BOAT INSTABILITY AND/OR HIGH
STEERING TORQUE WHEN
OPERATED AT OR NEAR THE LIMITS OF
THE "BOW UP"OR "BOW DOWN" TRIM
POSITIONS. BOAT STABILITY
AND STEERING TORQUE CAN ALSO VARY
DUE TO CHANGING WATER CONDITIONS.
IF YOU EXPERIENCE BOAT INSTABILITY OR
HIGH STEERING TORQUE
SEE YOUR AUTHORIZED REGAL DEALER.
For further information on trim functions refer to
chapter 6 of this manual and your Yamaha owner's
manual.
