OPERATION
CB184
Remote Controls (Console Mounted)
1 Control Handle(s) - Operation of the shift and throttle are con-
trolled by the movement of the control handle. “Push” the control
handle forward from “Neutral” with a quick firm motion to the first
detent for “Forward” gear. Continue pushing forward to increase
speed. Pull the control handle back from “Neutral” with a quick
firm motion to the first detent for “Reverse” gear. Continue pulling
back to increase speed.
2 Throttle Only Button - Allows engine throttle advancement
without shifting the engine. This is done by disengaging the shift
mechanism from the control handle. The throttle only button can
be depressed only when the remote control handle is in the “Neu-
tral” position, and should only be used to assist in starting the
engine.
3 Control Handle Tension Adjustment Screw - This screw can
be adjusted to “Increase” or “Decrease” the tension on the control
handle (cover must be removed to adjust). This will help prevent
“Creep” of the remote control handle. Turn screw “Clockwise” to
increase tension and “Counterclockwise” to decrease tension.
Adjust to tension desired.
