Section 2 Boat Operation
Shift and Throttle Control
Boat direction, boat speed, and close-quarter maneu-
vering are controlled by the single-lever control. The
single-lever control includes gear selection, engine
speed, and engine trim angle functions. Additional
detailed information about your single-lever control is
covered in the engine operator’s manual.
Shifting
• The shift lever controls gear selection for the out-
board engine. The shift lever must be in NEU-
TRAL before starting engine. The engine will not
start if the shift lever is in FORWARD or
REVERSE.
• The engine must be running before you shift into
FORWARD or REVERSE.
• From NEUTRAL, move the shift lever forward to
select FORWARD gear.
• From NEUTRAL, move the shift lever backward to
select REVERSE gear.
• Never shift directly from FORWARD to REVERSE
without pausing in NEUTRAL.
• Never shift directly from REVERSE to FORWARD
without pausing in NEUTRAL.
Neutral Throttle
• The single-lever control has a neutral throttle fea-
ture. Depress the Throttle Only button and move
the shift lever forward to increase engine speed in
NEUTRAL.
• Move the shift lever back to NEUTRAL to disen-
gage the neutral throttle feature.
!
CAUTION
Shifting the engine from FORWARD to
REVERSE at any boat speed above idle can
cause catastrophic engine damage. This
engine damage can include gearcase failure or
water ingestion.
