Engine Controls
Depending on the engine installed on your boat, you will either have a mechanical gear shift/throttle
control unit or a “drive by wire” Digital Throttle and Shift (DTS®) control unit. The control unit, located
to the starboard of the steering wheel, activates both the shifting and throttle for the engine.
To start the engine, the control unit must be in the NEUTRAL position. When in neutral, the engine is
running, but the propeller is not spinning. There is a “Throttle
-
Only” button that when pressed, will
allow you to operate the throttle without the propeller spinning. On the mechanical shift controller,
the button is located at the center of the throttle control, and when moved back to the center
position, the button will automatically re
-
engage the shifting mechanism.
For the DTS control, the “Throttle
-
Only” button is located on the control function pad. To engage,
press the “Throttle
-
Only” button on the keypad when the engine is in neutral. A light located above
the “Throttle
-
Only” button will turn on and the green neutral light will begin to flash. When you place
the ERC in gear, the warning horn will beep, however, the propeller is not turning. To disengage,
return the ERC lever back to neutral and press the “Throttle
-
Only” button. The light located above the
“Throttle
-
Only” button will turn off and the green neutral light stops flashing and remains illuminated.
Moving the control lever forward from neutral engages the forward gear and throttle advance.
Moving the control lever backwards from neutral engages the reverse gear and thrust. The throttle
lever controls the RPM of the engine and the speed of the boat.
Power Trim & Tilt
The power trim, located on the side of the gear shift throttle handle, allows you to raise and lower the
engine for trailering and launching the boat. It also allows you to adjust the engine to create the
optimum run angle for the boat to achieve best all around performance (fuel consumption, speed).

Emergency Engine Shutdown Switch
Your boat is equipped with an engine shutdown safety switch. The switch is located at the helm

the engine must be shut down, pull the lanyard cord to release it from the shut
