ENGINE STOPPING
Binnacle Mount Control
Briskly and decisively, move the control handle fore
or aft — until it engages the gear detent.
Move control handle to NEUTRAL.
Turn key switch counterclockwise to OFF. Remove
the key when the boat will be unattended.
To avoid difficulty when restarting, never stop the
engine by running it with the fuel hose disconnected
or otherwise running it out of fuel.
The engine’s EMM draws a small amount of current
at all times. When you are not planning to run your
engine within the next 30 days:
•
If your boat is equipped with a battery switch, turn
it OFF.
•
If you have no battery switch, remove the 30-amp
fuse. Refer to Fuses.
IMPORTANT: With the 30-amp fuse removed, the
engine will not crank or start. Place a note on your
ignition key to install the fuse before your next out-
ing.
IMPORTANT: When shifting from FORWARD to
REVERSE or from REVERSE to FORWARD,
pause at NEUTRAL until the engine is at idle speed
and the boat has slowed.
SHIFTING AND SPEED CONTROL

IMPORTANT: Carefully check the function of all
control and engine systems before leaving the
dock. DO NOT shift the engine into FORWARD or
REVERSE while it is shut off. If the following direc-
tions are not suitable for your boat’s control, see
your DEALER before proceeding.
After gear engagement, move the control handle
slowly in the same direction to increase speed.

NEUTRAL — adjust the throttle so the engine does
not overspeed.

idle button while using the other hand to move the
control handle forward, past the forward gear de-
tent and into the throttle range. If equipped with a
neutral lock tab, squeeze it to begin handle travel.
