There are two gear shift levers and two throttle
control levers.
The gear shift levers have three positions:
FORWARD, NEUTRAL (center), and REVERSE.
The gear shift levers must be in the NEUTRAL
position when starting the engines. A detent can be
felt when the control is in exact neutral. Forward
and reverse positions should always be in the
full travel extremes in either direction for positive
engagement and minimum wear. Each gear shift
lever can be used independently from the other, for
example, when idling one shift can be put in forward
and the other in reverse for tight maneuvering. Shift
gears only with engines idling.
The throttle controls regulate the RPM of the
engines. Pushing the levers forward will increase
engine RPM. Regulating RPM of the engines will
control the speed of the boat through the water.

Periodically check and seasonally lubricate the
linkages with medium weight oil.
Occasionally it will be necessary to adjust the
tension on the cables to ensure a positive and direct
response of the control lever action.
