8.2 Using throttle and shift control

The remote control engages forward or reverse drive and functions as a throttle.

Improper shift selection

Do not shift into reverse while travelling at high speeds as this may damage the motor.

When shifting to reverse drive, a delay occurs before the motor generates thrust. Always keep the throttle handle steady and wait for thrust to engage before increasing throttle.
  • To drive forward or reverse, move the throttle handle from the neutral position to the desired direction.
  • Adjust the speed by moving the handle further in the same direction.
  • To stop the boat, bring the throttle handle to the neutral position.
    When the boat is travelling forward at a slow speed, you can use the reverse shift for braking.
For more information on using the remote control, see a separate motor manufacturer's manual.
