Twin Unit Maneuvering
When leaving or approaching the dock, or for any close
maneuvering at slow speed, place the port engine con-
trol lever 3 in neutral N (on standby) and use the star-
board engine. The use of one control is very effective
and more convenient. In the event that the starboard
engine (which is being used for maneuvering) stops,
you can immediately go to the port engine (which has
been on standby).
NOTICE! Both engines must be running during close
maneuvering or at slow speeds. If only one engine is
running, water may be forced back through the under-
water exhaust outlet and cause serious engine dam-
age. Do not attempt to plane boat while operating on a
single engine; operating with a single engine at full
throttle could cause engine or transmission damage.
Neutral Interlock Button
51266a
The neutral interlock button 1, available on the side-
mount control only, prevents accidentally moving the
throttle out of neutral. This button must be depressed
to shift the throttle out of neutral.
To move the control lever away from neutral:
1. With the control handle in NEUTRAL, depress the
neutral interlock button 1.
2. While keeping the button pressed, move control
handle out of neutral in the desired direction.
Once the throttle is out of the neutral position, you
may release the button.
The neutral interlock will automatically re-engage
when the control handle is returned to the NEUTRAL
position.
