Throttle & Shift Controls

Ignition – Binnacle, Forward, Neutral and Reverse Gear Operation

The binnacle on the 23 XP 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 is 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.
