Function and operation of components
■
Lever friction adjuster
The remote control can be adjusted to suit
operator preference. Friction brakes adjust
the effort to move the control levers. Shift po-
sition detents adjust the click felt when en-
gaging the shift positions. Turn the adjusters
clockwise to increase the friction or detent
pressure. Turn counterclockwise to reduce
the friction or detent pressure.
WARNING
• If the friction brakes or shift position de-
tents are too loose, the remote control
levers may move too quickly, causing
accidents.
• Do not over-tighten the friction brakes
and shift position detents. If the remote
control levers movement is too heavy, it
may hinder the handling of the boat,
causing accidents.
1. Friction brakes
2. Shift position detents

Free throttle switch
When activated, the free throttle switch al-
lows opening the throttles of all engines with-
out engaging forward or reverse gear.
With the remote control levers in the N posi-
tion, press the free throttle switch, and then
move the remote control levers forward to
open and close the throttle. Moving the re-
mote control levers rearward will also open
and close the throttle. The active indicator
will be illuminated during operation.
1. Fully open
2. Fully closed
3. Free accelerator
4. Active indicator
5. Free throttle switch
The free throttle switch cannot be operated
unless the remote control levers are in the N
position. To leave free throttle mode, place
the remote control levers in the N position
and press the free throttle switch. The active
indicator will go out.
■
Single lever switch
The single lever switch allows shift and throt-
tle operation of all engines using the PORT
lever. When activated the STBD lever will be
inoperable.
