start position just long enough to briefly engage the starter for the engine. Do not hold the key in the start
position long enough to start the engine. The starter should not engage for either engine. Repeat this test
with the shift levers in reverse and the engine throttles at idle. Again, the starter should not engage for either
engine. If the starter for either engine engages with the shift controls in any position other than the neutral
position, then the neutral safety switch is not functioning properly and you should contact your dealer and have
the neutral safety switch repaired before using your boat. If an engine starts in gear during this test,
immediately move the control levers to the neutral position and turn the engine off.
IN SOME SITUATIONS, IT MAY BE POSSIBLE TO ACCIDENTALLY START THE ENGINES
IN GEAR WITH THE THROTTLES ABOVE IDLE IF THE NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH IS
NOT OPERATING PROPERLY. THIS WOULD CAUSE THE BOAT TO ACCELERATE UN-
EXPECTEDLY IN FORWARD OR REVERSE AND COULD RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL,
DAMAGE TO THE BOAT OR INJURY TO PASSENGERS. ALWAYS TEST THE NEUTRAL
SAFETY SWITCH PERIODICALLY AND CORRECT ANY PROBLEMS BEFORE USING THE
BOAT.
2.4 Engine Power Tilt and Trim
All outboard engines used on your boat have a tilt and trim feature. The tilt and trim switches are usually built
into the engine shift and throttle controls and allow the operator to control the position of the outboards from
the helm. Moving the outboards closer to the boat transom is called trimming “in” or “down.” Moving the
outboards further away from the boat transom is called trimming “out” or “up.” In most cases, the boat will
run best with the outboards adjusted so the hull will run at a 3 to 5 degree angle to the water.
The term “trim” generally refers to the adjustment of the outboards within the first 20
o
range of travel. This
is the range used while operating your boat on plane. The term “tilt” is generally used when referring to
adjusting the outboards further up for shallow water operation or trailering. For information on the proper
use and maintenance of the power tilt and trim, please refer to the engine owner’s manual.
THE ENGINE HOSES AND CABLES OR THE TRANSOM GEL COAT CAN BE DAMAGED
BY TILTING THE ENGINES TO THE FULL UP POSITION WITH THE ENGINES TURNED
TO THE WRONG POSITION. MOST TWIN ENGINE INSTALLATIONS WILL BENEFIT
FROM TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL COMPLETELY ONE WAY OR THE OTHER BE-
FORE TILTING THE ENGINES TO THE FULL UP POSITION. YOU SHOULD MONITOR
THE ENGINES AS THEY TILT TO DETERMINE BEST FULL TILT ENGINE POSITION
FOR YOUR BOAT.
2.5 Automatic Fire Extinguisher System (with Optional
Generator)
This system protects the generator compartment in the case of fire. The helm
mounted display unit provides systems status - charged (visual), discharged
(visual and audible) - and an override switch to allow for engine restart. For
additional important information on this system, read the Automatic Fire
Extinguishing System section in the Safety Equipment chapter of this owner's
manual. Also read the automatic fire extinguisher owner's manual in the
Generator compartment section of this binder.
