Shift / Throttle / Trim

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.

The throttle lever has three range positions: "Forward", "Neutral", and "Reverse". The shift function

occurs in the first portion of the lever travel. After the transmission is shifted into gear, further movement

of the lever advances the throttle.

Push the throttle lever ahead to move forward and pull it back for reverse. Centralize the lever to the

detent position for neutral. The throttle lever is equipped with a neutral safety switch to prevent the motor

from starting in gear. The initial short movement of the lever to engage the transmission should be made

firmly to avoid causing gear clash.

CAUTION: Use care in shifting to avoid advancing the throttle more than intended.

Steering – Hydraulic (Verado - Power)

Steering systems will differ depending upon your selection of engine package. Please carefully read the

owner's manual provided by the specific manufacturer.

Hydraulic steering is standard when your engine package is factory installed. If you have selected the

Mercury Verado engine package, the engine manufacturer has included electro hydraulic power steering

with an integral hydraulic cylinder.

Check your particular engine specifications for details specific to your engine package. Always follow the

engine manufacturers recommendations relating to the care and maintenance of their product.

Tilt steering is available when your engine package includes hydraulic steering.
