Remote Controls (Two Lever)
Your boat may be equipped with one of many Quicksilver

remote controls available. All controls feature an
integral safety switch that allows starting engine in NEUTRAL only. Also, all controls may not have all features
shown.
NOTE: If boat is equipped with a remote control other than shown, consult your dealer for a description and/or
demonstration of the control.
1
Shift Lever - shifts unit into gear with full lever movement. Move lever forward to shift to FORWARD gear.
Move lever backward to shift to REVERSE gear. Lever in full vertical position shifts to NEUTRAL.
CAUTION
Never shift unit into or out of gear unless throttle lever is a idle rpm.
2
Throttle Lever - allows engine rpm to be increased or decreased.
3
FRICTION Screw - adjusts control handle friction so motor speed can be set and driver does not have to hold
handle.
Turn screw clockwise to increase friction. Do not thread screw all the way out.
4
DETENT Screw - controls the effort needed to move control handle out of NEUTRAL. To increase tension,
turn screw clockwise; to decrease, turn screw counterclockwise. Do not thread screw all the way out.
IMPORTANT: Boats equipped with dual power packages may have both shift levers on one control and
both throttle levers on the other control.

Power Trim
Power Trim allows the operator to adjust the drive angle, while underway, to provide the ideal boat angle for vary-
ing load and water conditions. Also, the Power Trim system “Trailering” feature allows the operator to raise and
lower the drive unit for trailering, beaching, launching and low speed (below 1200 rpm engine speed), shallow
water operation.
CAUTION
Never trim the drive unit UP/OUT using TRAILER switch while boat is underway at engine speeds
above 1200 rpm. Use extreme caution when operating with drive unit raised. Severe damage to the
drive unit may result if unit is raised beyond the gimbal ring support flanges at engine speeds above
1200 rpm.

In most cases, best overall performance is obtained with the drive unit adjusted so the boat bottom will run
at a 3
°
to 5
°
angle to the water.
Trimming Drive Unit UP/OUT Can:
•
Generally increase top speed.
•
Increase clearance over submerged objects or a shallow bottom.
•
Cause boat to accelerate and plane off slower.
•
In excess, cause boat “porpoising” (bouncing) or propeller ventilation.
•
Cause engine overheating if trimmed UP/OUT to a point where any cooling water intake holes are above the
water line.
Trimming Drive Unit DOWN/IN Can:
•
Lower the bow.
•
Help the boat accelerate and plane off quicker.
•
Generally improve the ride in choppy water.
•
In most cases, reduce boat speed.
•
If in excess, lower the bow of some boats to a point at which they begin to plow with their bow in the water
while on plane. This can result in an unexpected turn in either direction called “bow steering” or “over steering”
if any turn is attempted, or if a significant wave is encountered.
