Throttle/Shift Controls
The throttle/shift controls located at the helm station control the flow of fuel to the engine.
They also act as gear shift levers to control the forward and reverse thrust of the propellers.
The middle position of the throttle control is the neutral position. Move the control forward to
engage the shifting mechanism which creates a forward thrust of the propeller. Advance the forward
movement to increase the fuel flow to the engine and boost the forward lunge.
Move the control lever aft of the neutral position to reverse the shift mechanism and create a
reverse thrust of the propeller. Increase the aft movement to increase the reverse thrust. Remember
that propellers are designed for maximum forward thrust; so, reverse thrust will not be as efficient.
All controls have a neutral safety mechanism. This mechanism will not allow the engine to start
when the control is in gear. You may use the neutral lock out feature on the control handle to increase
the flow of fuel to the engine while remaining in the neutral position.
Neutral Lock-Out button
for Mechanical Shifter is
located on the handle(s). Neutral Lock-Out button
for Electronic Shifter is
located on the aft side of
the unit.
If your boat is equipped with Helm Master™ there is a feature that is similar to a neutral lock-
out on other boats. When activated, the free throttle button allows opening the throttles on all
engines without engaging the forward or reverse gear. The active indicator will be illuminated
during operation. See Yamaha Helm Master™ Operation Manual for detailed instructions.
