Throttle & Shift Controls for Twin
Ignition – Binnacle, Forward, Neutral and Reverse Gear Operation
The binnacle on the 32 Express is located on the starboard side of 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.
K ey 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.
L anyard Stop Switch
To ensure the lanyard sto p 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.
