Operation

C. Pulling the remote control lever back to
idle or neutral position produces only D
minimum thrust. If you are traveling at
speeds above trolling, you will have rap-
idly decreasing ability to steer without
throttle. You may still have some turning
ability immediately after pulling the re-
mote control lever back to idle, but when
the engine slows down, the boat will no
longer respond to steering wheel input
until you apply throttle again or you reach
a trolling speed.
Turning left
At trolling speed, the boat can be turned
gradually by steering wheel position
alone using just the amount of thrust
available at engine idle.
C

Turning right

D. If the boat is moving and the remote con-
trol lever is in neutral position, or if there
is no thrust because the engine is
stopped, the boat will go straight even
though the steering wheel is turned. You
need throttle to steer.
