#1 Post by Feustond1000 » Thu May 20, 2010 6:51 pm

Hello all! im new to having a pontoon and what I have is a 40 hp evinrude motor and i noticed on the back of the motor ithas 2 buttons. The first knob is directly behind the motor and it says fast/slow and left/right on it? what does that do? and the other knob is on the right side of the motor. any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks , Dennis
