Start-In-Gear Protection - PowerTec 25A Owner's Manual

General information
NOTE:
Select a propeller which will allow the engine
to reach the middle or upper half of the oper-
ating range at full throttle with the maximum
boat load. If operating conditions such as
light boat loads then allow the engine r/min to
rise above the maximum recommended
range, reduce the throttle setting to maintain
the engine in the proper operating range.
For instructions on propeller removal and in-
stallation, see page 47.

Start-in-gear protection

Powertec outboard motors or Powertec-ap-
proved remote control units are equipped
with start-in-gear protection device(s). This
feature permits the engine to be started only
when it is in neutral. Always select neutral
before starting the engine.
