3.
To go in REVERSE - move the shift/throttle
lever(s) rearward. Once rearward gear engage-
ment is complete, push shift/throttle lever(s)
rearward until desired speed is achieved.
If you suspect there is a problem, see your engine
manufacturer’s authorized service center as soon as
possible for proper diagnosis and required service or
adjustment. Continued operation could result in
damage to the shift mechanism and loss of control.
D. Stopping Engine
DO NOT shift from forward to reverse when
the boat is planing.
1.
Move shifter lever(s) to the NEUTRAL position.
Allow engines to idle for a few minutes (in neutral)
before turning them OFF. This will avoid boiling
and even out the temperature. This is especially
important if the engines have been operated at
high engine speeds and loads.
4.
To go from FORWARD to REVERSE, or
REVERSE to FORWARD; always pause at
NEUTRAL and allow engine speed to fall below
1500
RPM.
2.
Turn ignition key to the STOP position “S” Keep
the key turned until the engine stops. The key will
automatically return to the OFF position “0” when
released and then can be removed.
NOTICE
If you attempt to shift gear at an excessive
engine speed, a safety function cuts in
automatically, and delays shifting until engine
speed has fallen below 1500 RPM.
See Figure A6.
5.
After shifting is completed, slowly push throttle
lever(s) forward/rearward until desired speed
is achieved.
On a boat with twin engines it is important that
both engines be running during reverse
Figure A6: Ignition Switch STOP Position
procedures, to avoid the risk of water entry (via
the exhaust pipe) into a stationary engine.
Never switch OFF the main battery switches
while engines are running. This could damage
the alternator.
Any time the boat is operated, be aware of
changes in shift system operation. A sudden
increase in shift effort of the shifter levers, or
other abnormal operation, indicates a possible
problem in the shift system. If this occurs, the
following precautions must be taken:
Never switch OFF the main battery switches
before the starter key is turned OFF (is in the
“0” position or removed). This could damage
the electrical system.
•
With engine running and boat securely
tied to the dock, shift drive into forward
and reverse to ensure there is gear
engagement.
DO NOT stop engine at speeds above idle or
“speed up” engine while turning off ignition.
Engine damage could result.
•
When docking the boat, all docking
maneuvers must be performed at slow
speed. Pay special attention to other
boaters. Passengers should be
informed of potential problems and
precautions taken.
With the Inboard Performance System (IPS) engines,
when they are stopped the drive-units will automati-
cally be positioned in the straight forward position.
