Gearshif t Lever Throttle Friction Adjuster Steering Friction Knob
The gearshift lever is used to select F
(forward), N (neutral), or R (reverse)
gears.
The engine can be started with the
gearshift lever in the N (neutral)
position only.
The throttle friction adjuster adjusts
resistance to throttle grip rotation.
Turn the adjuster clockwise to
increase friction for holding a throttle
setting while cruising.
Turn the adjuster counterclockwise to
decrease friction for easy throttle grip
rotation.
Less friction allows the outboard
motor to turn more easily. More
friction helps to hold a steady course
while cruising or to prevent the
outboard motor from swinging while
trailering the boat.
The steering friction adjuster adjusts
steering resistance.
