You and your dealer must not communicate very well. The Evinrude E-TEC G2 has digital throttle and shift controls, often called "fly-by-wire." Evinrude makes 2 types of digital hot-foot controls and with a digital display on the dash you can also change from a hand throttle to the foot throttle whenever you wish with just a press on the touch screen.






FOOT THROTTLE OPERATION
When the foot throttle is selected, the control handle input is used only for gear selection.Throttle
control is only taken from the foot pedal position. During the power on sequence, the control will
determine whether the foot or hand throttle input is selected.

FOOT THROTTLE CONTROL TRANSFER
Control of throttle input may be transferred between the hand and foot inputs using:
• the Evinrude Diagnostics program - see your authorized dealer.
• the Evinrude digital touch screen display - see display user’s guide.

Control transfer to or from the foot throttle can only be initiated when the control and outboard
EMM are at NEUTRAL idle (outboard running or not running). The throttle source selection is
retained in the remote control.

Is it a normal TH marine hot foot or the BRP hot foot?

If he installed icon2 controls, the accompanying Hot Foot which can be bought (Floor or bulkhead mount) is one of the easiest installs there is.

The E-TEC G2 also uses the network signal for activating the trim system. It does not use the 12V red wire like older units did. Your wheel mounted trim switch can be rewired by a tech who is familiar with the Evinrude G2 systems and who follows the instructions.
