Then move shift/throttle lever
rapidly, either forward or
reverse, but not very far from

unit will engage and boat will start to move slowly
in either forward or reverse. You can damage the
transmission if you do not shift quickly from neutral

shifted into forward gear, move shift/throttle lever
forward to desired engine speed.

TEERING
The steering system is an enclosed push-pull cable
that is hydraulically assisted (power steering) at the
stern drive end (Figure 3.7.1 & 3.7.2). THE CABLE
AND ITS CONNECTIONS TO THE STEERING
WHEEL AND TO THE OUT DRIVE MUST BE
INSPECTED AT LEAST TWICE A YEAR BY YOUR
SEA RAY DEALER. See section 8 of this manual
for inspection, service and maintenance
recommendations.
!
Failure of the steering system will cause loss of
control of your boat. Any change in steering such as
looseness, tightness, binding, etc., must be checked
immediately by your Sea Ray dealer.
