Starter Grip
Press the starter button to operate the
electric starter for starting the engine.
The steering friction lever adjusts
steering resistance.
Less friction allows the outboard
motor to turn more easily. More
friction helps to hold steady course
while cruising or to prevent the
outboard motor from swinging while
trailering the boat.
The electric starter button can be
used to start the engine only when the
gearshift lever is in the N (neutral)
position (p.
), and the clip is in the
engine stop switch.
The engine will not start unless the
gearshift lever is in the N (neutral)
position (p.
), and the clip is in the
engine stop switch.
Pulling the starter grip operates the
recoil starter to crank the engine for
starting.
