Controls - Volvo Penta 3.0GS/SX Owner's Manual

The shift function and engine speed control are combined in one lever. The shift function 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 is available as an
accessory, this will only permit the engine to be started with the drive disengaged.
Your boat may be equipped with remote controls other than those described above. If Volvo Penta controls are
not used, ask your selling dealer for operating instructions for the remote control used in your boat since opera-
tion and function may differ from Volvo Penta remote controls.
