WARNING
1.
Throttle friction screw
Do not operate the outboard in REVERSE with the
tilt/run lever in TILT. The outboard may tilt out of the
water, resulting in loss of control.
WARNING
Tighten knob only enough to hold throttle at a con-
stant engine speed. Overtightening will prevent
quick throttle change in case of emergency.
IMPORTANT: When shifting from FORWARD to RE-
VERSE or from REVERSE to FORWARD, pause at NEU-
TRAL until the engine is at idle speed and the boat has
slowed.
Fuel Economy
Speed Control
Fuel economy can vary depending on boat load, hull de-
sign, and throttle setting. When boat reaches top speed,
throttle back from FULL SPEED to a lower throttle setting.
You will save fuel with a minimal loss of speed.
With the outboard running, twist throttle grip:
•
•
Clockwise to decrease speed; or
Counterclockwise to increase speed.
Twist throttle grip to slowest idle position.
