Remote Control Unit

The gear shift release, throttle lock, and engine speed control are combined in one lever. The gear shift release
can be simply disengaged so that only engine speed is affected. The Volvo Penta controls are available for top or
side mounting. The control levers have an adjustable friction brake. A neutral position switch, available as an
accessory, allows the engine to be started with the drive disengaged.
Your boat may be equipped with remote controls other than those described below. If Volvo Penta controls are
not used, ask your dealer for operating instructions for the remote control used in your boat since operation and
function may differ from Volvo Penta remote controls.

Single Lever Control Operation

Both the gear shift release and engine speed control
are operated using the single lever (1).
N Neutral position (drive is disengaged and the
engine runs at idle speed).
F Drive/forward gear engaged for forward move-
ment (ahead).
R Drive/reverse gear engaged for backward
movement (astern).
T Engine speed control.
NOTE! The engine can be started only if the drive is
in neutral.

Shifting from Neutral

To move the remote control lever from the neutral de-
tent position, depress the throttle lock (3), then move
the control lever in the desired direction.

Disengaging the Shift Function

The gear shift can be disengaged so that the control
lever affects only the engine speed.
1. Move the lever (1) to the neutral position (N).
2. Press the gear shift release button (2) in and hold
it down while moving the control lever forward to
the shift position (F).
3. Release the gear shift release button. The
indicator begins to flash to acknowledge that the
shift function is disengaged. The lever now only
affects the engine speed (RPMs). In this position
the engine speed is limited to a maximum of 1500
rpm. When the lever is moved back to the neutral
position it will automatically re-engage.
CAUTION! Take care not to engage the reverse
gear/drive unintentionally.
