THROTTLE/SHIFT LEVERS
• Before shifting, make sure there
are no swimmers or obstacles in
the water near you.
• When operating in Reverse, go
slowly. Do not open the throttle
more than half. Otherwise, the
boat may become unstable, which
could result in loss of control and
an accident.
• Do not shift into Reverse while
traveling at planing speeds. Loss
of control, boat swamping, or
damage to the boat could occur.
A separate lever for each engine con-
trols both throttle and shifting. In normal
operation, the levers are moved together.
Moving the levers forward from Neutral
shifts into the Forward position and then,
as the lever is moved farther, acceler-
ates the engines for more thrust. Moving
the levers back from Neutral shifts into
the Reverse position and then, as the
lever is moved farther, accelerates the
engines for more thrust. The lever must
be moved about 35° from Neutral before
Forward or Reverse engages and the
engine starts to accelerate.
