To reverse power, bring the control lever back to
engage the reverse gear and increase the reverse
thrust. The throttle control regulates the RPM of
the engine. Regulating the RPM of the engine will
control the speed of the boat.
Understanding your boat and its reactions at
speed will make boating for you safer and more
enjoyable.
Power Trim & Tilt
The power trim & tilt system
allows you to raise and
lower the engine outdrive
for trailering, launching and
beaching. This also allows for
ideal boat angle (in relation
to the water surface) for a
given load and water condition. In most cases, best
all-round performance is obtained with the engine
adjusted so that the boat will run at a 3° to 5° angle
to the water. The power trim is located on the inboard
side of the gear shift/throttle lever handle.
Shift controls into NEUTRAL before starting
engine. Shift only when engine is at idle.
Reversing at high speeds can cause fl ooding/
swamping due to water being pushed over the
transom.
!
CAUTION
Wind and sea currents can change how your
boat responds while in motion. Understanding
your boat and its reactions at speed will make
boating for you safer and more enjoyable.
NOTICE
Gear Shift & Throttle Control
The 170 Montauk is equipped with a gear shift/
throttle control unit mounted on the console directly
starboard of the steering wheel. The gear shift/throttle
control unit for the engine activates both shifting
mechanism and throttle.
The control must be in the “NEUTRAL” position to
start your engine. Neutral is the most upright position
of the control unit and acts as an idle, the propeller
is not rotating. There is a “throttle only” button at
the center of the throttle control that when depressed
will disengage the shifting mechanism and will
allow you to operate the throttle without engaging
the propeller. This button will automatically engage
the shifting mechanism once the throttle control has
been moved back to its center position (you will
hear and feel a click when it is engaged). Moving
the lever forward engages the forward gear and then
the throttle advance.
Reducing forward speed quickly, suddenly
slowing the boat will create a following wake
which may rise above the transom and fl ood
the boat.

Boats can be operated in a manner and at
certain speeds resulting in trim angles that
could cause visibility to be obscured. Motor trim,
hull trim plane angles (if equipped), boat load
distribution and speed are factors that affect a
boat’s trim angle.
