Single Lever Controls
Single lever controls operate as both a gear shifter and a throttle for a
select engine. The lever is detented in the NEUTRAL position for starting.
Shifting is accomplished by moving the lever into the first 15° of travel;
push the lever for FORWARD, and pull the lever back for REVERSE. By
advancing the lever beyond 15°, you move from the shifting range to the
throttle range. DO NOT attempt to shift without the engine running. For
engine warm-up, a separate lever or button on the control is used for
throttle advance while the transmission remains in NEUTRAL.
A. NEUTRAL Position - Safety switch will allow
starting in this position only.
B. FORWARD Position - Press release button
under handle to allow shifting to FORWARD (or
REVERSE) position.
C. REVERSE Position - Do not shift quickly from
FORWARD to REVERSE.
D. THROTTLE Position - Pushing in forward or
pulling in REVERSE increases engine speed.
DO NOT attempt to shift without the engine running. For engine warm-up,
a separate lever on the control is used for throttle advance when in
NEUTRAL.
Dual lever controls have individual levers for
transmission shift and engine throttle.
A. Shift Lever - Neutral is in center detent
position; push for forward, pull for reverse.
B. Throttle Lever - Full throttle is all the way up,
idle is all the way down.
For engine warm-up, the shift levers are
positioned in neutral and the throttle levers are
advanced as needed.
SWITCHES
Each electrical circuit on your boat is equipped with a control switch. Some
switches may have an LED indicator for easy ON/OFF identification. Most
switches will have a fuse holder, or circuit breaker adjacent to the switch.
