The shift/throttle levers are connected to the engines
by an electronic control system (engine interface). The
function of the shift/throttle levers is to control the engine
speed and vessel direction of travel.
The levers allow the captain to shift the engines from
neutral to forward or from neutral to reverse to control the
engines’ RPMs. See the following lever position guide:
• FORWARD – Above Neutral Position: Shifts the
engines to forward and increases the RPM levels
• NEUTRAL – Center Position: The engines remain in
neutral at their lowest RPM levels.
• REVERSE – Below Neutral Position: Shifts the
engines to reverse and increases the RPM level.
OTEE:

It is recommended to operate the engines
at the same speed while cruising. Doing
so reduces engine noise, reduces engine
vibration, and improves engine efficiency.
See the engine control manuals for more in-depth
information on the operation of the engine’s control
system.
Fire Suppression
System
Immediately evacuate the engine room and the
AFT bilge area if the fire suppression system
is activated. Asphyxiation can result if the fire
suppression system chemicals are inhaled.
Immediately ventilate the engine room with
fresh air once the fire is extinguished and the
system is deactivated.
Do not attempt to restart the engines until the
fire is out and any damage to the engines and
fuel system has been repaired.
