8.2 Using the gearshift and throttle
The boat is equipped with a remote control that functions as a throttle, forward and reverse gearshift and the engine trim angle controller.
Do not shift into reverse while travelling at higher speeds as this will damage the engine.
Put the engine into gear by pushing the button on the gear/throttle handle upward and by pushing or pulling the handle forward or backwards.
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.
