Systems, Controls & Indicators
Shift/Throttle Control
The shift/throttle control on your boat differs from model to model and may
depend on the engine used. The following single lever and dual lever
controls are typical of the operation of most controls used. Be sure to
consult the engine or control manual for specific operational differences.
All shift/throttle controls are equipped with a safety switch for
"start in neutral only" operation. Be sure the control is in
neutral before attempting to start the engine.
Single lever controls operate as both a gear shifter and a throttle.
A. Neutral Position - Safety switch will allow
starting in this position only.
B. Forward Position - Press release button under
handle to allow shifting to forward (or reverse)
position.
C. Reverse Position - Do not shift quickly from
forward to reverse.
D. Throttle Position - Pushing in forward or pulling
in reverse increases engine speed.
Never attempt to shift without the engine running. For engine warm-up, a
separate lever on the control is used for throttle advance when in neutral.
Dual lever controls have individual levers for transmission shift and engine
throttle.
A. Shift Lever - Neutral is in center detent position;
push for forward, pull for reverse.
B. Throttle Lever - Full throttle is all the way up,
idle is all the way down.
For engine warm-up, the shift lever is positioned in
neutral and the throttle lever is advanced as needed.
Do not shift too quickly from forward to reverse. Stay in
neutral, or idle position until the boat has lost most of its
headway before completing the shift to reverse or engine
damage may occur.
