Outboard Speed Control System and Safety
What is most important?
The outboard speed control system
starts here at the remote control
lever... (single lever remote control)
...and ends here on
the powerhead.
When control lever is moved from
FORWARD (or REVERSE) to
NEUTRAL...
Powerhead speed must
slow down to allow operator
to shift into NEUTRAL.
Operator must be able to
STOP propeller.
What could happen?
If Operator cannot slow down the outboard or shift into NEUTRAL gear (stop propeller), Operator
could panic and lose control of boat.
