NEW
AUTOMATIC
CLUTCH
a.
New
automatic
clutch.
Based
On a dual
centrifugal
clutch
design,
it allows
the out-
board
prop
to
turn
at very
stow speeds or
even
come
to
a complete
stop
while
the
engine
continues
operating
efficiently.
It
eliminates
the need to
shift
gears by hand
and
prevents
the
engine
from
overheating
and stalling
at slow speeds.
When
engine
starts,
motor
is neutral.
As

increases,

engages.
At
:approx.
6
MPH,

engages
to
provide
