Throttle Only Button - Allows engine throttle advancement without shifting the engine. This
is done by disengaging the shift mechanism from the control handle. The throttle only button
can be depressed only when the remote control handle is in the NEUTRAL position, and
should only be used to assist in starting the engine.
Control Handle Tension Adjustment Screw - This screw can be adjusted to increase or
decrease the tension on the control handle (cover must be removed to adjust). This will help
prevent slipping of the remote control handle. Turn screw clockwise to increase tension and
counterclockwise to decrease tension. Adjust to tension desired.
Control Handles - Operation of the the shift and throttle are controlled by the movement
of the control handle. Push the control handle forward from NEUTRAL with a quick firm
motion to the first detent for FORWARD gear and continue pushing forward to increase
speed. Pull the control handle back from NEUTRAL with a quick firm motion to the first
detent for REVERSE gear and continue pushing back to increase speed.
Power Trim Switch - See Power Trim section for detailed power trim operating procedures.
Trailer Switch - Used to raise drive unit for trailering, launching, beaching or shallow water
operation. On the single remote control handle units, the trailering mode begins with the
second click or when the Power Trim/ Trailer Switch is pressed all the way UP. See Power
Trim for detailed trailer switch operation.
