2. Move the remote control lever from

NEUTRAL toward FORWARD position.

R2, R3 types:

Moving about 35° engages the gear.

Moving the remote control lever further opens the throttle and increases the engine speed.

R1 type:

Moving about 32° engages the gear. Moving the remote control lever further opens the throttle and increases the engine speed.

For the sake of fuel economy, open the throttle about 80%.

• When cruising at full throttle, note that the engine speed must be in the range BFT115A: between 4,500 min -1 (rpm) and 6,000 min -1 (rpm),

BFT150A: between 5,000 min -1 (rpm) and 6,000 min -1 (rpm).

• If you feel that the engine speed jumped up when the hull jumped or at ventilation, cruise the boat by returning the throttle to the slow speed side.

• See “Propeller Selection” (page 39) for a relation between the propeller and the engine speed.

Do not operate without the engine cover. Exposed moving parts could cause injury; water may damage the engine.

For best performance, passengers and equipment should be distributed evenly to balance the boat.
