8.2 Using gearshift and throttle
The remote control functions as a throttle, forward and reverse gearshift and the engine trim angle controller. Twin engine installations come with twin handle remote controller. Each handle controls one engine.
Risk of material damage.
Do not shift into reverse while travelling at higher speeds as this damages the engine.
Put the engine into gear by pushing the button on the gear/throttle handle upward and by pushing or pulling the gear/throttle handle forward or backwards.
Electric remote control does not have a neutral lock button on the handle.When the engine is in gear, adjust the speed using the gear/throttle handle.
When the boat is travelling forward at a slow speed, you can use the reverse gear for braking.
For more information on using the remote control, see a separate equipment manufacturer’s manual.
