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.
Speed Control
After gear engagement, move the control handle
slowly in the same direction to increase speed.
Fast Idle in NEUTRAL
Concealed Side Mount and Binnacle Mount
Controls
Shifting
With engine running and control handle in NEU-
TRAL:
IMPORTANT: Avoid excessive engine RPM in
NEUTRAL — adjust the throttle so the engine does
not overspeed.
Side Mount and Concealed Side Mount Control
With the control handle in NEUTRAL, push the fast
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.
Unlock the control handle (lift the neutral lock tab by
squeezing the hand grip). Briskly and decisively,
move the control handle fore or aft — until it engag-
es the gear detent.

Fast idle button
When ready to shift, move the control handle back
to NEUTRAL. Engine speed will reduce and the
shift function will automatically engage for move-
ment into FORWARD or REVERSE.
Binnacle Mount Control
Briskly and decisively, move the control handle fore
or aft — until it engages the gear detent.
FUEL ECONOMY
The economy throttle range can save fuel, depend-
ing on boat load and hull design. When boat reach-
es top speed, throttle back from FULL SPEED to
the economy throttle range. You will save fuel with-
out a noticeable loss of speed.
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.
