Controls

Controls and engine systems vary greatly from one engine manufacturer to another. Please read your engine owner's manual
carefully.
Throttle and Shift Controls for Twin
Ignition – Binnacle, Forward, Neutral and Reverse Gear Operation
The binnacle is located on the console forward of the helm seat. To ensure that
the binnacle is working properly, shift the binnacle forward to put the engine in
forward gear. Make sure the engine shifts smoothly into idle with no grinding of
the gears. Bring the binnacle back into neutral and repeat the same process
while going into reverse. Again, ensure that there are no gears grinding. It is
important to check the binnacle at wide-open throttle (WOT) to ensure the
binnacle is not stiff and operates smoothly while going into the WOT position.
Actual binnacle will vary depending upon the engine package that was selected.

Key Switch Alarm

The key switch alarm is located in the binnacle and sounds when the ignition key is turned on. The key switch
alarm is actually is a warning alarm that goes off when any overheating problems may occur with the engine. To
check the key switch alarm, turn the ignition key to the right but do not start the engine. The alarm will sound
ensuring that the engine warning alarm is working properly. When finished, turn the key off.

Lanyard Stop Switch

To ensure the lanyard stop switch (also called the emergency stop feature) on the engine works properly, first turn
on the ignition key and start up the engine. While the engine is running, locate the lanyard stop switch. The
lanyard stop switch will be either on the base of the binnacle or underneath the ignition key. While the engine is
running in the neutral position, pull the lanyard stop switch downward until the plastic element at the end of the
lanyard pulls the stop switch pin into the off position. This process will automatically stop the engine and will
ensure that the emergency lanyard stop switch is working properly.
Electronic Throttle and Shift Controls – Twin (Optional)
Some engine packages (i.e., Mercury Verado, Mercury Opti Max DTS, etc.) include electronic throttle and shift
controls. This option is also available as an option for all other engine packages. The electronic throttle and 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.
