Operation
Operation
Shifting between forward and reverse should be done at
idling. Shifting at higher engine speeds can be uncom-
fortable for passengers and cause unnecessary stress
on the stern drive/reversing gear, or cause the engine to
stop.
If you attempt to shift gear at an excessive engine speed,
a safety function cuts in automatically, and delays shifting
until engine speed has fallen to 1500 rpm.
Always do a forwards/reverse operation as follows:
1. Reduce engine speed to idle and let the boat more or
less lose way.
WARNING! Never shift to reverse when the boat
is planing.
2. Move the control lever to neutral with a rapid, distinct
movement. Make a brief pause.
NOTE! A beep will sound to indicate that the control
lever is in neutral.
3. Then move the control lever to reverse with a rapid,
distinct movement and increase engine speed.
IMPORTANT ! If the boat has twin engines, it is
important that both should be running during
reversing maneuvers, to avoid the risk of water
entry (via the exhaust pipe) into the stationary
engine.
Power Trim while running
The Power Trim adjusts the drive angle to the stern of
the boat to obtain maximum comfort and fuel econ-
omy at different speeds, with varying loads, and in a
range of wind and sea conditions.
Power Trim settings and adjustment are controlled
from the helm position using the controls and instru-
ments described in the Power Trim section.
WARNING! Avoid over-trimming the drive sys-
tem as this can adversely effect the steering of
the boat severely.
The engine must not be run with the drive in the
“Lift” range.
IMPORTANT! Avoid running with the drive fully
trimmed for long periods (when planing). Apart
from excessive fuel consumption this can cause
cavity damage to the propeller(s).
