TRIPLE-ENGINE THROTTLE AND SHIFT OPERATION
Movement of the handles on the remote control allows the boat operator to
control the engine throttle speed and gear shift positions of all three engines.
The throttle and shift function is dependent on what engines are running. Refer
to the following table.
