Engine Throttle; Side Mount Shifters - Chris-Craft 2015 21 Carina Owner's Manual

Engine Throttle:
The throttle controls the engine speed which dictates the speed of the boat through the water. The
throttle combines direction and power in the lower unit. Moving the throttle forward increases the engine
speed until full forward power is reached. Moving the throttle aft puts the boat in reverse. Continued
aft movement of the throttle increases engine speed until full power is reached. The middle detent is
the neutral position. The engine will not start unless the throttle is in the neutral position.
Work with your dealer for instructions on the best way of handling throttle control.
