The main switch controls the ignition and

Ignition circuit is switched off. The engine
cannot be started, but other switches will op-
erate. (The main switch key can be removed.)

Ignition circuit is switched on. (The main
switch key cannot be removed.)

The starter motor will turn to start the engine.
(When the main switch key is released, it re-
turns automatically to “ON”.)

motor will not turn over) if the battery switch
in the rear underseat storage compartment
(port) is turned to the OFF (red) position. (See

Remote control lever
WARNING
Before shifting, make sure there are no
swimmers or obstacles in the water
near you.
When operating in reverse, go slowly.
Do not open the throttle more than half.
Otherwise, the boat may become unsta-
ble, which could result in loss of control
and an accident.
Do not shift into reverse while traveling
at planing speeds. Loss of control, boat
swamping, or damage to the boat could
occur.
A single lever controls both throttle and shift-
ing. Moving the remote control lever forward
from the neutral position shifts into the for-
ward position, and then as the lever is moved
farther, accelerates the engine for more
thrust. Moving the lever back from the neutral
position shifts into the reverse position, and
then as the lever is moved farther, acceler-
ates the engine for more thrust.
