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 H310 models. See Figures F1 and F2. These Moving the black gaffrig shifter control(s) to the center
controls allow you to select forward or reverse gear, or straight up position places the engine(s) in neutral.

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.

Shifter Controls
Additional information on controls and their operation
may be found in the engine manufacturer’s manual
included in the owner’s packet.
F - 2 CONTROL OPERATION - Engine Starting
On fuel injected engines, starting the engine is very
straight forward. First, place the shifter control(s) in
the neutral position and the throttle control(s) in the
idle position. Once controls are in the proper position,
turn the ignition key(s) and allow the engine(s) to
warm up. For additional information, refer to the en-
gine manufacturer’s manual included in the owner’s
information packet.

A “start-in-neutral-only” feature which prevents starting
in gear is included. Refer to F-3 Neutral Safety Switch
in this section.
F - 3 NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH
Atrim control switch is installed into the gaffrig’s throttle
control. A twin engine application would have two trim
control switches installed. The trim control switch(s)
allows the driver to adjust the position of the outdrive.
Control systems usually incorporate neutral safety
switches within their design. This device prevents the
engine from being started while the shift lever is in
