Section 4
Shifter/Throttle
!WARNING Hazard from replacing your shift/ throttle control without a start-in-gear protection system can cause death or serious injury, DO NOT replace the control with a control that does not have this feature.
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.
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.

CAUTION 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.
