Controls and engine systems vary greatly from one engine manufacturer to another.  Please read your engine 
owner’s manual carefully. 
 

Throttle and Shift Controls for Twin Engines 

 

Ignition – Binnacle, Forward, Neutral and Reverse Gear Operation

  

The binnacle is located at the console forward of the helm seat.  To ensure that 
the binnacle is working properly, shift the binnacle forward to put the engine in 
forward gear.  Make sure the engine shifts smoothly into idle with no grinding of 
the gears.  Bring the binnacle back into neutral and repeat the same process 
while going into reverse.  Again, ensure that there are no gears grinding.  It is 
important to check the binnacle at wide-open throttle (WOT) to ensure the 
binnacle is not stiff and operates smoothly while going into the WOT position. 
 
Actual binnacle will vary depending upon the engine package that was selected. 
 

Key Switch Alarm 

The key switch alarm is located in the binnacle and sounds when the ignition key is turned on.  The key switch 
alarm is actually a warning alarm that will go off in the unlikely event that an overheating problem occurs with the 
engine.  To check the key switch alarm, turn the ignition key to the right but do not start the engine.  The alarm will 
sound ensuring that the engine warning alarm is working properly.  When finished, turn the key off. 
 

Lanyard Stop Switch 

To ensure the lanyard stop switch (also called the emergency stop feature) on the engine works properly, first turn 
on the ignition key and start up the engine.  While the engine is running, locate the lanyard stop switch.  The 
lanyard stop switch is installed in close proximity to the binnacle or the ignition.  While the engine is running in the 
neutral position, pull the lanyard stop switch downward until the plastic element at the end of the lanyard pulls the 
stop switch pin into the off position.  This process will automatically stop the engine and will ensure that the 
emergency lanyard stop switch is working properly. 
 

 

 

 

Note:  If your engine package was 

not factory installed

, some components that are normally 

standard installations may not be included. 

 

Shift / Throttle / Trim 

 
Your Pro-Line can be ordered with different shift/throttle systems based upon motor type.  Refer to the owner's 
packet to find the manual pertaining to your particular installation.  Each motor has an individual tilt/trim switch 
located on the port throttle lever.  Separate shift and throttle controls are available for each outboard motor.
