Section 2 • General Information
R
The power trim & tilt
system located on the
shift control lever allows
you to raise and lower
the engine for optimum
performance in the water
and for trailering, launching and beaching. The
switch is a momentary switch; which means that
constant pressure must be applied to the switch
during the raising and lowering cycle.
Use the trim switch to obtain an ideal boat angle
(in relation to the water surface) for a given load
and water condition. In most cases, best all around
performance is obtained with the engine adjusted
so that the boat will run at a 3° to 5° angle to the
water.

NOTICE
Boats can be operated in a manner and speed
resulting in trim angles that cause visibility to be
obscurred. Motor trim, hull trim plane and speed
are factors that affect a boat’s trim angle.
REFER TO THE ENGINE MANUFACTURER’S MANUAL
IN YOUR OWNER’S MANUAL PACKET FOR COMPLETE
INSTRUCTIONS, INFORMATION AND WARRANTY.
Likewise, to reverse power, bring the control lever
back to engage the reverse gear and increase the
reverse thrust by continuing to pull back on the
throttle control..
The control must be in the “NEUTRAL” position to
start your engine. Neutral is the most central position
of the control unit and acts as an idle (you will hear
and feel a click when neutral is engaged). While in
this position, the propeller is not rotating.
T h e r e i s a “ T H R O T T L E
ONLY” button on the throttle
control that when depressed
will disengage the shifting
mechanism and will allow
you to operate the throttle
without engaging the propeller.
The button will automatically
engage the shifting mechanism once the throttle
control has been moved back to its center position.
Gear Shift & Throttle Control
Shift controls into NEUTRAL before starting
engine. Shift only when engine is at idle.
Reversing at high speeds can cause
fl ooding/
swamping due to water being pushed over the
transom.
!
CAUTION
Wind and sea currents can change how your
boat responds while in motion. Understanding
your boat and its reactions at speed will make
your boating safer and more enjoyable.
NOTICE
Your 190 Outrage is equipped with a state of the
art “drive-by-wire” gear shift and throttle control
system. The Digital Throttle/Shift (DTS
® ) is the latest
technology in recreational boating. Located on the
console, starboard of the helm. The gear shift/throttle
control unit controls both the shifting mechanism
and throttle.
The throttle control regulates the RPM of the engine.
Regulating the RPM of the engine will control
the speed of the boat. Moving the lever forward
engages the forward gear. Continuing to move the
lever forward will increase the forward speed of the
boat.
