Hello, I just got my hands on a nice running 2007 Bayliner 205 and had some questions as the controls are a bit different from my last (1978) boat. Hoping so.eone can answer!
1: how do I run the engine without the propeller turning? On my last boat it was a knob you pulled out on the throttle pivot point, but this has a button in the center of the pivot (the one with the M on it).
2: what is the little red Run/Off switch below the throttle? A kill switch?
3: Any other peculiarities anyone can think of when going from a very basic 45 year old boat to this?

Thanks all!

Press button to disconnect gear vs your OMC controls of pulling handle

That is MOB switch, missing the lanyard

Thanks Scott! Last question, I can't find a prop up/down switch. How do I raise and lower the oitdrive?
