Electronic Throttle & Shift Controls (Optional)

Some engine packages (i.e., Mercury Verado, Mercury Opti Max DTS, etc.) include electronic throttle and

shift controls.

Electronic Throttle & Shift Controls are available as an option for all other engine

packages. The electronic throttle & shift controls provide easier shift and throttle functions and little or no

resistance. You may occasionally feel some friction at the binnacle but this can be adjusted at the

binnacle per the instructions provided by the engine manufacturer.

Your Pro-Line can be ordered with different shift/throttle systems based upon motor type. Refer to the

owner's packet to find the manual pertaining to your particular installation. Each motor has an individual

tilt/trim switch located on the port throttle lever. Separate shift and throttle controls are available for each

outboard motor.

The throttle lever has three range positions: "Forward", "Neutral", and "Reverse". The shift function

occurs in the first portion of the lever travel. After the transmission is shifted into gear, further movement

of the lever advances the throttle.

Push the throttle lever ahead to move forward and pull it back for reverse. Centralize the lever to the

detent for neutral. The throttle lever is equipped with a neutral safety switch to prevent the motor from

starting in gear. The initial short movement of the lever to engage the transmission should be made firmly

to avoid causing gear clash.

CAUTION: Use care in shifting to avoid advancing the throttle more than intended.

Steering systems will differ depending upon your selection of engine package. Please carefully read the

owner's manual provided by the specific manufacturer.

Your Pro-Line is equipped with a self-contained hydraulic steering system. When the steering wheel is

turned, the helm pump pumps fluid to the steering cylinder causing it to extend or retract. Periodically,

check the fluid level and fill as necessary. Beware of adding too much fluid, especially if the ambient
