For the best performance and the maximum service life, shift the transmission in the following manner:
Fully engage the marine transmission selector lever in the desired direction of travel.
Wait for at least 3 seconds to allow the clutch to engage completely before increasing the rpm of the engine.
Gradually increase engine rpm.
Operate the marine transmission controls ONLY with the engine running. A rotating propeller shaft with an engaged clutch is not lubricated sufficiently when the engine is not running, and may be damaged.
Slow Vessel Mode
Slow vessel mode allows the engine speed to run at 550 rpm, which is below the programmable idle range of 600-800 rpm.
