automatically to the operating position
after start.

Starter keys
The starter keys are tagged with a key code. Use this
code when ordering new keys. Do not keep the tag on
your boat. The code must not be divulged to unauthor-
ized persons.
VP single control
Lever (1) for reversing maneuvers and controlling engine speed
Position N – Neutral
From N to F – reverse gear engaged for forward movement.
From N to R – reverse gear engaged for reverse movement.
T – control of engine speed (rpm)
Disengaging the reverse gear from the control:
Push the button (2) when the lever is in neutral, then push the
lever forwards. The lever can then be used as a throttle with
disengaged reverse gear. Take care not to engage the
reverse gear unintentionally.
The shift function is engaged automatically when the lever is
returned to the Neutral position.
Controls
Volvo Penta uses two types of controls, single lever and
dual lever. With single lever controls, both acceleration
and reverse gear maneuvers are controlled using one
lever, while the dual lever controls have a separate le-
ver for each function.
