Gear Shift & Throttle Control
Your boat features a state of the art digital “drive-
by-wire”gear shift and throttle control system. The
Digital Throttle/Shift (DTS)
®
is the latest technology
in recreational boating.
The DTS
®
system is monitored through the
Smartcraft
®
VesselView display which will give
you a visual readout of all functions regarding your
boats engine as well as direction, and applicable
fluid capacities.
Digital Throttle/Shift (DTS
®
)
Shift controls into NEUTRAL before starting
engine. Shift only when engine is at idle.
Reversing at high speeds can cause flooding/
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.

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.
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 in the center position
of the unit and acts as an idle. While in this position,
the propeller is not rotating. By moving the control
arms back and forth you can feel a detent in the
center position and will hear a click when neutral
is engaged.
There is a “
THROTTLE ONLY” button on the
control unit 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 (you will hear and feel a click when
it is engaged).

MANUAL IN YOUR OWNER’S MANUAL PACKET
