2008 Evinrude 115 150 175 200 hp E-TEC PL PX SL BX HL CX Outboard Motor Owners Manual

X OPERATION
Emergency Stop/Key Switch
WARNING
A  combination  emergency  stop switch  and
key switch  is a feature  of Evinrude prewired
remote controls and  all Evinrude control  wir-
ing kits.
Avoid  knocking or  pulling the  clip  off
the stop switch during normal  boating.
Avoid  bumping   the  key  if   operating
without  the   clip  on  the   switch.  The
resulting  unexpected  loss  of  forward
motion  can throw  occupants  forward,
causing injury.
Connect the  clip to  the emergency  stop/key
switch. Snap the lanyard to a secure place on
the  operator’s  clothing   or  life  vest  —  not
where it might tear away instead of activating
the  stop switch.  Disconnecting  the clip  and
lanyard will  stop the engine  and prevent the
boat from  becoming a  runaway if  the  driver
moves beyond the range of the lanyard. If the
lanyard  is too  long,  it can  be shortened  by
knotting or  looping it. DO  NOT cut and  retie
the  lanyard. In  an emergency  situation,  the
engine can be started without the clip in place.
Follow the  normal  starting procedure.  Rein-
stall a clip as soon as possible.
Keep  the  lanyard   free  from  obstruc-
tions and entanglements.
At each outing, test  the system’s oper-
ation. With the engine running, remove
the clip  from the switch  by pulling the
lanyard.  If  the  engine  does  not  stop
running, see your Dealer.
IMPORTANT:  Your emergency  stop  switch
can be  effective only  when in  good working
condition. At each outing, inspect clip and lan-
yard for cuts, breaks,  or wear. Replace worn
or damaged parts.
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 FOR-
WARD or REVERSE while it is shut off.
If the following  directions are not suitable  for
your  boat’s control,  see your  Dealer  before
proceeding.
Shifting
IMPORTANT:   When   shifting   from   FOR-
WARD  to REVERSE  or  from REVERSE  to
FORWARD, pause at NEUTRAL until the en-
gine is at idle speed and the boat has slowed.
With  engine  running  and  control handle  in

Side Mount Controls
Unlock the control handle by lifting the neutral
lock lever on the hand grip. With a firm, quick

til it engages the forward  or reverse gear de-
tent.
DANGER
Always  use  the  safety  lanyard   when
operating  your boat  to help  prevent a
runaway  boat  and  reduce  the risk  of
personal injury or death.
Binnacle Mount Controls
With a  firm,  quick motion,  move the  control
handle fore or aft until it engages the forward
or reverse gear detent.
Speed Control
After  gear  engagement,   move  the  control
handle  slowly  in  the  same  direction  to  in-
crease speed.
