That was the trick for the choke thingy... pushing in on the ignition key
activated it! Many thanks Derek!!!!

Would have been nice if there'd been a label above/below the ignition key
stating "Push to Choke" or something. Grrrrr!

Ok I just realized what the button on the shifter is for... it unlocks
the
shift cables allowing me to crank the engine with the throttles opened up
from the shifter. Duhhh!

I'd still like to know what that little red indicator above the engine
carbs
is for... and why I'm getting that annoying beeping sound.... :-(

Thanks.

Have you tried "pushing in" the ignition key while starting? On my old
boat, this is how the choke is activated.
