GENERAL
NOTICE
The control information included in this section is
general only. For specific operation of the controls
on your boat, refer to the control manufacturer's
literature and engine manufacturer's literature
included in your owner's packet. Ensure you
completely understand the operation of the
controls before operating your boat. Also consult
your dealer should any questions arise regarding
the operation of the control unit.
Control systems permit operation of the engine's
throttle and shift mechanisms. Typically, they consist
of three major components; the control, the throttle
and shift cables. Note: On models which include an
electronic shifter the control cable is replaced by a
CAN-bus type of electronic system. CAN stands for
Control Area Network. Note: Controls will vary de-
pending on the V series model and engine(s) selec-
tion.
V series single engine models are equipped with side
mount control. See Figure F1. Stern drive models are
also equipped with a trim switch which raise or lower
the outdrive.

On dual binnacle controls, the left lever controls the
port engine and the right lever controls the starboard
engine. Both the shift function and the engine speed
are controlled by the lever control. Moving the lever
forward will shift the drive into forward. Moving it aft
will shift the drive into reverse. Moving the lever further
will increase engine speed. See Figure F4.
