allow you to operate the throle without the propeller spinning. On the mechanical shi controller,
the buon is located at the center of the throle control, and when moved back to the center

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 shi throle 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
opmum run angle for the boat to achieve best all around performance (fuel consumpon, speed).
Refer to the engine manufacturer’s manual for complete instrucons, informaon and warranty.
14. Emergency Engine Shutdown Switch
Your boat is equipped with an ignion shutdown safety switch. The switch is located at the helm
under the engine control unit. The ignion shutdown switch incorporates a shut-o switch and a
lanyard. Before operang the boat, one end of the lanyard must be connected to the shut-o switch
while the other end is connected to the operator. If an emergency arises where the engine must be
shut down, pull the lanyard cord to release it from the shut-o switch, which in turn shuts down the
engine(s). This switch is designed to shut the engine(s) o when the operator of the boat leaves the
control staon, either accidently by falling into the boat, or by being ejected overboard.
