or alarms on EVC system displays.

control panel activation button for at least one
second. When the button is released, the indica-

position is activated. Note: If the indicator flashes
, the control position has not been activated
because the control levers are not in the neutral
position. See Figure A4.

NOTICE
Allow the engine to idle for the first ten
seconds. Monitor all instruments and displays
to ensure normal readings are shown. Check
that no alarms are displayed and that no
warning lights are flashing. Then warm the
engine at low speed and low load until engine
reaches normal temperature before full power
is used.
NOTICE
Priming is not necessary for EFI engines.
Refer to the engine owner’s manual for
addi tional informa tion.
NOTICE
NEVER turn key to START position when
engine is running.
NOTICE
Failure to move the throttle handle to the idle
position immediately when engine starts will
allow engine to “over-rev” and engine damage
could result. “Over-revving” engine after off-
season storage could also damage the water
pump impeller. When starting engine for the
first time after off-season storage, always
idle engine for ten minutes to allow the wa -
ter pump to prime.
C. Shifting and Control Speed
NOTICE
If your boat is equipped with a non-OEM
remote control system, ask your dealer how
to properly operate it.
1. Move shift/throttle lever(s) to the neutral idle
position. Placing the shift/throttle levers in the
neutral detent position will engage neutral start
switch and allow engine to start.
2. To go FORWARD - move the shift/throttle lever(s)
forward. Once forward gear engagement is
complete, push shift/throttle lever(s) forward until
desired speed is achieved.
