F - 2 CONTROL OPERATION
A. General
NOTICE
The control information included in this section
is general only. For specific operation of the
controls on your boat, refer to the control
manufacturer’s literature included in your
owner’s packet. Ensure you completely
understand the operation of the controls before
operating your boat. Also consult your dealer
should any questions arise regarding the
operation of the control unit.
NOTICE
If your boat is equipped with a non-OEM
remote control system, ask your dealer how to
properly operate it.
NOTICE
Reduce throttle as soon as motor starts. Do
not run a cold motor any faster than necessary
to keep motor from stalling. Do not exceed
000 RPM in NEUTRAL.
During.the.general.operation.of.a.twin.engine.boat,..
it.is.advantageous.for.both.engines.to.be.operated.at.
the.same.engine.speed.(rpm)..This.reduces.noise.and.
vibration, and can increase propulsion system effi -
ciency..Setting.the.throttles.so.the.engines.are.running.
at.the.same.rpm.(synchronized).can.be.done.by.
engine.sounds.or.by.an.engine.synchronizer.gauge..
Attempting.to.synchronize.the.engines.solely.by.using.
tachometer.readings.or.manually.controlling.the.
throttle.lever.placement.will.generally.not.be.effective..
Please.note.however.with.the.electronic.dual.binnacle.
control.engine.synchronization.is.made.easier.without.
the.need.for.engine.synchronizer.gauge..When.the.
engines.are.in.proper.synchronization,.the.throttle.
levers.may.not.necessarily.be.in.the.same.position.
