TILLER MODELS
Carefully check the function
of all control and engine systems before
leaving the dock. DO NOT shift the out-
board into FORWARD or REVERSE while
it is shut OFF.

With engine running, twist the throttle grip to
SLOWEST speed position.
Move the shift lever with a firm, quick motion,
to FORWARD or REVERSE gear.
When shifting from FOR-
WARD to REVERSE or from REVERSE to
FORWARD, pause at NEUTRAL until the
engine is at idle speed and the boat has
slowed.
Speed Control
With the outboard running, twist throttle grip:
• Clockwise to decrease speed; or
• Counterclockwise to increase speed
