and transmission control lever. The controls have
a single lever for each engine that operates as a
gearshift and a throttle. General operation will
include a position for neutral (straight up and down
or slightly aft of vertical), a forward position (the
1st detent forward of neutral), and a reverse po-
sition (the 1st detent aft of neutral). Advancing
the control lever beyond the shift range advances
the throttle in forward or reverse. Each control is
equipped with a means of permitting the engine
to be operated at a higher than idle RPM while in
neutral for cold starting and warm-up purposes.
The control levers are equipped with adjustable
control head detent and friction settings.
The control head key pad has integrated switches
and indicator lights which allow the operator to
control all aspects of the boat’s propulsion sys-
tem. The most common features activated or
monitored by the keypad are:
• Starter lockout, which prevents the engine from
being started in gear.
• Gear lockout, which allows the engine RPM to
be advanced in neutral safely.
• Battery voltage warning indicator that warns
the operator of high or low voltage supplied to
the system (audible alarm)
• An engine synchronization feature that
automatically keeps both engines at the same
RPM. Refer to Engine Synchronizing in this
section for more information regarding engine
synchronization.
These features and others not mentioned require
specific procedures to activate and operate them
properly. Some of the procedures and features
are unique to the engines, drive system and other
options installed on your boat. It is essential that
you read the owner’s manual for the controls and
be completely familiar with their operation before
using your boat.
ALWAYS RETURN THE ENGINE THROTTLE LEVER
TO THE EXTREME LOW SPEED POSITION
BEFORE SHIFTING. NEVER SHIFT THE UNIT
WHILE ENGINE SPEED IS ABOVE IDLE RPM.
During most operations of a twin engine boat, it is
advantageous for both engines to be operated at
the same RPM. This reduces noise, and vibration,
and can increase engine efficiency. Setting the
throttles so that the engines are running the same
RPM (synchronized) can be done by listening to
the engine sounds, with the synchronizer feature
built into some electronic engine controls or with
an optional engine synchronizing gauge. Attempt-
ing to synchronize the engines solely by using the
tachometer readings or control lever placement
generally will not work. When the engines are in
proper synchronization, the throttle levers may
not necessarily be even. Please refer to the en-
gine or control owner’s manual for more informa-
tion on the features for the controls installed on
your boat.
2.3 Neutral Safety Switch
Every control system has a neutral safety switch.
This device prohibits the engines from being
started while the shift levers are in any position
other than the neutral position. If the engine will
not start, slight movement of the shift lever may
be necessary to locate the neutral position and
disengage the safety cutout switch. Control sys-
tem adjustments may be required to correct this
condition, should it persist. See your Monterey
dealer for necessary control and cable adjustments.
The neutral safety switch should be tested peri-
odically to ensure that it is operating properly. To
test the neutral safety switch, make sure the out-
drives are tilted down and move the shift levers
to the forward position with the engines off.
Make
sure the throttle levers are set to the idle po-
sition.
Activate the starter switch for each en-
gine just long enough to briefly engage the starter.
