Shifter/Throttle

A single-lever control with neutral warm-up button and safety lock-
out umbrella operates as both a gear shifter and a throttle control.
When the throttle lever is vertical, it is locked in the NEUTRAL
position for safety. Be sure the control is in NEUTRAL before
attempting to start the engine. Lifting the safety lock-out umbrella
and moving the throttle lever forward will engage FORWARD gear
in the transmission and increase the engine RPM. Moving the
throttle lever backward will engage REVERSE gear in the
transmission and also increase the engine RPM.

Sport

Your Correct Craft boat is equipped with a

Shifter/Throttle Control Handle which features a start-in-
gear protection to prevent the boat from moving when
started. Never replace the control with a control that
does not have this feature.

!

WARNING

DO NOT shift too quickly from FORWARD to

REVERSE. Stay in NEUTRAL, or idle position until the
boat has lost most of its headway before completing the
shift to REVERSE or engine/transmission damage may
occur.

CAUTION
