NOTE:
• When the engine stops, the clutch moves to
the neutral position irrespective of the posi-
tion of the remote control lever.
• The clutch cannot be changed over either to
Forward or Reverse by operating the remote
control lever while the engine stops.
• If gear shifting is attempted while the engine
speed is high, the buzzer sounds twice and
the shift position indicator light “N” displayed
on the multi-function gauge, blinks. If this sys-
tem activates, move the shift lever in to the
full closed position.

speed control it is possible to move the han-
dle past the detent and engage the throttle.
This can cause the boat to move suddenly
resulting in personal injury or property dam-
age.
You must be careful not to move the control
handle too far forward or rearward when shift-
