Shift Switch 200 – 300 HP 90° V6 Models
Shift switch, P/N 586861, has been relocated from the shift linkage to the cylin-
der and crankcase. This change improves the operation of the shift switch.
A new EMM and engine management software allow the shift switch to perform
the following functions:
•
Start in gear protection – prevents the starter motor from operating if the shift
lever is not in NEUTRAL.
•
Shift interrupt – reduces shift effort when the engine is shifted out of gear.
•
Neutral rpm limit – limits engine speed to approximately 1100 rpm when shift
lever is in NEUTRAL position.
Note: DE model engines ( ICON Electronic Shift and Throttle) do not have the
shift switch. Also see ICON Conversion Kit Installation 200 – 300 HP 90° V6
Models on p. 49.
Cooling System Change 250 – 300 HP 90° V6 (3.4 L)
Models
The cooling water hose from the vapor separator outlet to the exhaust adapter
has been relocated to the exhaust emission test port of the exhaust adapter.
This change improves water pressure to the powerhead and provides additional
water to cool the propeller hub.
