CONTROLS (THROTTLE/SHIFT)
Check the control levers for smooth
operation and proper shifting.
1) Remove the engine stop switch cord
(lanyard) and ignition keys.
2) Push and pull the control levers
through their full range, from Neutral
to wide-open throttle Forward and
from Neutral to Reverse. Operation
should be smooth.
3) While a second person watches
from the stern, move the control
levers to the Forward position.
Check that the shift gates lift com-
pletely to the stops.
4) While the second person watches,
move the levers back to the Reverse
position. Check that the shift gates
drop down over the nozzles to the
stops.
If the controls do not operate smoothly
or correctly, ask your authorized
Yamaha Boat dealer for service.
Before starting the engine, check
the operation of each engine’s throt-
tle/ shift lever. It should move
smoothly through the full range of
operation. Otherwise, there could be
loss of control and an accident.
REVERSE GATE MECHANISM
INSPECTION

yard and ignition keys.

3) Push the shift lever to Forward from
the Neutral position while a second
person observes shift gate move-
ment from outside the boat. Both
shift gates should lift completely to
the stops.

check for proper movement of the
shift gates. Both gates should drop
