The shift lever has three positions; forward, neutral, reverse. The shift function occurs in

the first portion of the lever travel. After the transmission is shifted into gear, further

movement of the lever advances the throttle. To move forward, push the lever ahead, pull

back for reverse. Centralize the lever to the detent for neutral. The shift lever is equipped

with a neutral safety switch to prevent the motor from starting in gear. Practice shifting a

few times without the engine running to develop a feel for the range and friction of the

system. The initial short movement of the lever to engage the transmission should be made

firmly to avoid causing gear clash. CAUTION: Use care in shifting to avoid advancing

the throttle more than intended. Practice in an safe area away from obstacles until

familiar with the feel.

The throttle can be operated independently for starting. Refer to the engine/ drive manuals

in your owners packet for specific information. If attempting to start an engine this way,

keep a hand on the throttle to pull it back as the engine clears to prevent over speed.

Actual Binnacle will vary depending on Engine Package

Steering

Your Pro Line is equipped with a self contained hydraulic steering system. When the

steering wheel is turned the helm pump pumps fluid to the steering cylinder, causing the

boat to turn. Always check the operation of the steering before starting the engine.

Periodically check the fluid level and fill if necessary. Beware of adding too much fluid

especially if the ambient temperature is cold because subsequent expansion could cause

leaking or damage to your system (refer to manual in packet). Every 24 hours of operation

check all nuts, caps, and hose fittings for tightness. Check that the hoses are not chafing, or

kinking on sharp corners. Also check that hose ends are not damaged or distorted by the

clamps.

The fluid should be changed yearly under normal conditions, twice yearly for heavy use.

If your steering does not operate properly first check for; drive entanglements, fluid level,

hoses / fittings for leaks, and / or air in the system.
