Controls
Ignition
The ignition switch has three positions,
off, on,
and
start.
To start the engine, attach the safety
lanyard, turn the key clockwise against the spring pressure to the start position. As soon as the
engine starts release clockwise pressure allowing the spring tension to return the switch to the
on
position. If the engine fails to start in 5 seconds of cranking allow the starter to cool off for 10
seconds and then repeat this procedure. For detailed instructions see the engine manual located
in the Important Papers Pack.
Safety Shut Down
The Safety shut down switch shuts off the engine in case the operator is thrown from the boat or
incapacitated. To ensure proper functions always attach the lanyard securely to the operator.
Shift/Throttle
Your Pro-Line can be ordered with several different shift and throttle systems. Refer to the
owner's packet to find the manual pertaining to your particular installation.
Separate shift/ throttles control the speed of each motor. Push the levers ahead for full throttle;
pull mid-position back for idle/neutral. Throttle back to idle before shifting into or out of gear.
Avoid over speeding the motors.
The shift/throttles levers each have three positions,
forward, neutral,
and
reverse.
To shift into
forward push all shift levers fully ahead as one unit, pull all the way back for reverse.
When starting the engines, centralize the levers to the detent for neutral. The shift levers are
equipped with a neutral safety switch to prevent the motor from starting in gear. The shift levers
can be operated independently for precise maneuvering
(do so at slow speed only).
Refer to the engine manuals in your owner’s packet for specific information.
