D.   Shifting and Control Speed
Any time  the boat  is operated,  be aware  of
changes in shift system operation.  A sudden
increase in  shift effort  at the  remote control
handle, or other abnormal operation, indicates
a possible problem in the shift system.  If this
occurs,thefollowingprecautionsmustbetaken:
NOTICE
If your boat is equipped with a non-OEM remote
control system, ask your dealer how to properly
operate it.
1.
Move control handle to the neutral detent (idle) posi-
tion.  This will engage neutral start switch and allow
engine to start.
With engine running and boat securely tied
to the dock, shift drive into forward and re-
verse to ensure there is gear engagement.
DO NOT shift into FORWARD or REVERSE un-
less engine is running. Damage to the shift sys-
tem could result from trying to shift without the
engine running.  Carefully check function of all
control and engine systems before leaving  the
dock.
