CONTROL OPERATION - GENERAL
Control.systems.permit.operation.of.the.engine's.throt-
tle.and.shift.mechanisms..They.consist.of.three.major.
components;.the.shifter.control,.the.throttle.control.and.
shift.control.cables..
A.gaffrig.style.shift.and.throttle.controls.are.featured.on.
the 310 Horizon™ models. See Figures F1 and F2.
These.controls.allow.you.to.select.forward.or.reverse.
gear,. regulate. engine. speed,. and. ensures. shifting. is.
done.at.low.engine.speeds.

Pressing.the.upper.portion.of.the.switch.moves.the.
outdrive.out.and.away.from.the.transom.thus.raising.
the.bow..Pressing.the.lower.portion.of.the.switch(s).
moves.the.outdrive.in.closer.to.the.transom.pushing.

Moving.the.black.gaffrig.shifter.control(s).to.the.center.
or.straight.up.position.places.the.engine(s).in.neutral..
Notice.as.you.push.the.shifter.control(s).to.the.neu-
tral. position. you. will. feel. the. neutral. detent. engage.
thus.indicating.you.are.in.neutral..Pushing.the.shifter.
control(s).forward.shifts.the.engine.into.forward..Pull-
ing.the.shifter.control(s).rearward.shifts.the.engine(s).
into reverse. Before shifting is done first move the
throttle.control(s).to.the.idle.position.(lever(s).is.all.the.
way.rearward)..Once.forward.or.reverse.engagement.
has.been.made.move.the.red.throttle.control.lever(s).
forward.to.increase.engine(s).speed.
NOTICE
When shifting, ensure engine speed is below
00 RPM to avoid damaging the shifting
mechanism.
NOTICE
Allow the engine to warm up before engaging
the shift control. Monitor all instruments while
engine is idling during warm-up.

CONTROL OPERATION -
On.fuel.injected.engines,.starting.the.engine.is.very.
straight.forward..First,.place.the.shifter.control(s).in.
the.neutral.position.and.the.throttle.control(s).in.the.
idle.position..Once.controls.are.in.the.proper.position,.
turn.the.ignition.key(s).and.allow.the.engine(s).to.
warm.up..For.additional.information,.refer.to.the.en-
