I can not figure out how to get my Volvo Penta engine and stern control into neutral to start and warm up my inboard engine. It is a Galaxie 2002 fish and ski boat model 2100. There is just a single control and seems to have no release to get the control into a neutral postion to be able to change rpm's of engine in a neutral potition. Starts ok in neutral and shifts fine into forward or reverse. I bought boat second hand and have no manual.

Re: Control problem

Grab the handle with both hands, one on top and one down by the pivot. pull it straight out and then move it forward.

Re: Control problem

Tryed to pull the control by hand would not move. Should I try to pry with a small pry bar?

Re: Control problem

I have a second question. On my galaxie 2100 fish and ski there is a small black box located under dash in the wiring harness with several small white buttons. Is this a reset or relay box?
