Control Systems
F - 1 CONTROL OPERATION - GENERAL
Pressing.the.upper.portion.of.the.switch.moves.the.
outdrive.out.and.away.from.the.transom.thus.raising.
the.bow..Pressing.the.lower.portion.of.the.switch(s).
moves.the.outdrive.in.closer.to.the.transom.pushing.
the.bow.down..The.switch(s).returns.to.its.center.neu-
tral.position.when.released...For.additional.information.
see.Section.E-5.
Control.systems.permit.operation.of.the.engine’s.throt-
tle.and.shift.mechanisms..They.consist.of.three.major.
components;.the.shifter.control,.the.throttle.control.and.
shift.control.cables..
A.gaffrig.style.shift.and.throttle.controls.are.featured.on.
the 310 Horizon™ models. See Figures F1 and F2.
These.controls.allow.you.to.select.forward.or.reverse.
gear,.regulate.engine.speed,.and.ensures.shifting.is.
done.at.low.engine.speeds.
Moving.the.black.gaffrig.shifter.control(s).to.the.center.
or.straight.up.position.places.the.engine(s).in.neutral..
Notice.as.you.push.the.shifter.control(s).to.the.neu-
tral.position.you.will.feel.the.neutral.detent.engage.
thus.indicating.you.are.in.neutral..Pushing.the.shifter.
control(s).forward.shifts.the.engine.into.forward..Pull-
ing.the.shifter.control(s).rearward.shifts.the.engine(s).
into reverse. Before shifting is done first move the
throttle.control(s).to.the.idle.position.(lever(s).is.all.the.
way.rearward)..Once.forward.or.reverse.engagement.
has.been.made.move.the.red.throttle.control.lever(s).
forward.to.increase.engine(s).speed.
