Controls and engine systems vary greatly from one engine manufacturer to another. Please read your engine

owner's manual carefully.

Note: If your engine package was not factory installed, some components that are normally

standard installations may not be included.

Ignition – Binnacle, Forward, Neutral and Reverse Gear Operation

The binnacle is located at the console forward of the helm seat. To ensure that

the binnacle is working properly, shift the binnacle forward to put the engine in

forward gear. Make sure the engine shifts smoothly into idle with no grinding of

the gears. Bring the binnacle back into neutral and repeat the same process

while going into reverse. Again, ensure that there are no gears grinding. It is

important to check the binnacle at wide-open throttle (WOT) to ensure the

binnacle is not stiff and operates smoothly while going into the WOT position.

Actual binnacle will vary depending upon the engine package that

was selected.

The key switch alarm is located in the binnacle and sounds when the ignition key is turned on. The key switch

alarm is actually a warning alarm that goes off when any overheating problems may occur with the engine. To

check the key switch alarm, turn the ignition key to the right but do not start the engine. The alarm will sound

ensuring that the engine warning alarm is working properly. When finished, turn the key off.

To ensure the lanyard stop switch (also called the emergency stop feature) on the engine works properly, first turn

on the ignition key and start up the engine. While the engine is running, locate the lanyard stop switch. The

lanyard stop switch is installed in close proximity to the binnacle or the ignition key. While the engine is running in

the neutral position, pull the lanyard stop switch downward until the plastic element at the end of the lanyard pulls

the stop switch pin into the off position. This process will automatically stop the engine and will ensure that the

emergency lanyard stop switch is working properly.

Your Pro-Line can be ordered with different shift/throttle systems based upon motor type. Refer to the owner's

packet to find the manual pertaining to your particular installation. Each motor has an individual tilt/trim switch

located on the port throttle lever. Separate shift and throttle controls are available for each outboard motor.
