You will have to buy-pass it in the remote. (connect the two red/yellow leads going into the switch)

why not fix the idle problems, starting in gear can be dangerous, especially if the throttle is cracked

its also bad for starter and battery,they both have to work harder.I agree with scott fix idle. on the water is no place to be adjusting/fixing boat make sure its running right everytime before u leave the dock.

My remote has a button to advance the throttle without engaging the gears. Is this not standard?
