Constant Mode
To set the foot control to the constant mode, press the small gray button on the left at the
base of the foot control one time. This mode allows the motors to run constantly at the
speed selected on the speed control knob.
Constant Mode Steering Adjustments
When the foot control is set in the constant mode, it is possible to make small directional
adjustments. To make each adjustment, press the right or left gray momentary buttons one
time. This will allow the boat to track 5 percent in the desired direction. If one of the two
momentary buttons is pressed and held down, the boat will continue to go in that direction
until the button is released or the opposite button is pressed.
Forward and Reverse
When the main control box is turned on, the foot control will begin in forward. To set the
foot control to the reverse mode, press the small gray button on the right at the base of the
foot control, one time. This will reverse all of the functions described above. This setting is
most effective and used most often when the foot control is set at the center position. This
function is helpful to back up out of tight areas and maneuver away from obstructions.
5.7 Throttle/Shift Control
The throttle/shift control on the console controls the flow of fuel to the engine and acts as a
gear shift lever to control the forward and aft thrust of the propeller.
The vertical or 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.
The throttle/shift control has a safety mechanism which will not allow the engine to start
when the control is in gear. To increase the flow of fuel to the engine while remaining in the
neutral position, you may use the neutral lock out button in the control handle.
