Any time the boat is operated, be aware of
changes in shift system operation. A sudden
increase in shift effort of the shifter levers, or
other abnormal operation, indicates a possible
problem in the shift system. If this occurs, the
following precautions must be taken:
• With engine running and boat securely tied
to the dock, shift drive into forward and re-
verse to ensure there is gear engagement.
• When docking the boat, all docking maneu-
vers must be performed at slow speed. Pay
special attention to other boaters. Passen-
gers should be informed of potential prob-
lems and precautions taken.
If you suspect there is a problem, see your Mercury or
Volvo Penta dealer as soon as possible for proper diag-
nosis and required service or adjustment. Continued op-
eration could result in damage to the shift mechanism
and loss of control.
E. Stopping Engine
1. Move shifter levers to the NEUTRAL position. Place
throttle levers in idle position.
2. Turn ignition key to the OFF position.
NOTICE
DO NOT stop engine at speeds above idle or
“speed up” engine while turning off ignition.
Engine damage could result.
A - 10 GROUNDING AND TOWING
If the boat should become disabled, or if assist-
ing another craft that is disabled, great care must
be taken. The stress applied to a boat during
towing may become excessive. Excessive
stress can damage the structure of the boat and
create a safety hazard for those aboard.
D. Shifting and Control Speed
NOTICE
If your boat is equipped with a non-OEM remote
control system, ask your dealer how to properly
operate it.
1. Move shifter levers to the neutral detent position and
throttle levers to the idle postion. Placing the shifter
levers in the neutral detent position will engage neu-
tral start switch and allow engine to start.
DO NOT shift into FORWARD or REVERSE un-
less engine is running. Damage to the shift sys-
tem could result from trying to shift without the
engine running. Carefully check function of all
control and engine systems before leaving the
dock.
2. To go FORWARD - Briskly move the shifter levers
forward. Once forward gear engagement is complete,
push throttle levers forward until desired speed is
achieved.
3. To go in REVERSE - Briskly move the shifter levers
rearward. Once rearward gear engagement is com-
plete, push throttle levers forward until desired speed
is achieved.
DO NOT shift from forward to reverse when the
boat is planing.
NOTICE
DO NOT shift if engine speed is above 800 RPM.
4. To go from FORWARD to REVERSE, or REVERSE
to FORWARD; always pause at NEUTRAL and allow
engine speed to return to idle.
5. After shifting is completed, slowly push throttle le-
vers forward until desired speed is achieved.
