FLYING BRIDGE CONTROLS
Operation from Upper Deck
To get power to the upper deck controls:
Helm Transfer – WARNING :
• Avoid serious injury or death from loss
of boat control. The operator should
never leave the active station while
engine is in gear. Helm transfer should
only be attempted while the engine is in
neutral and both stations are manned.
• NOTE : Neutral position is preferred
when doing a station transfer. If
conditions do not allow the remote
control to be placed in the neutral
position, a helm transfer can be
done while in gear. The helm transfer
function allows the boat operator to
select which helm is in control of engine
operation. Pressing the “TRANSFER”
button two times allows engine control
to be transferred to a new helm. When
a helm transfer is initiated, the control
will automatically start adjusting
engine RPM and gear position to match
the control handle setting at the new
helm. Adjust the control handles to the
desired throttle and gear.
• Once the “TRANSFER” button is
pressed, the transfer LED will light up
and one beep will sound. Press the
“TRANSFER” button again to complete
the helm transformation. When helm
transformation is complete, another beep
will sound and the transfer LED will turn
off.
• NOTE : There is a 10 second time frame
to complete a helm transfer. If the helm
transfer is not completed, the action
will be cancelled and a double beep will
sound. Pressing the “TRANSFER” button
again will re-initiate a helm transfer.
Synchronizing Engines
• The auto synchronizing feature, when
engaged, will automatically adjust all
engine speeds to match the speed of
the starboard engine. Press the “SYNC”
button on the CAN trackpad to turn auto
synchronization on or off. When the sync
LED is yellow, the “SYNC” button has
been pressed, but the conditions are not
right for auto synchronization to engage.
When the sync LED turns red, engine
synchronization has been engaged.
The engines will remain synchronized
as long as engine speed is over 900
RPM for two seconds, remote control
handles are positioned within 10% of
each other, and the engines are below
95% throttle opening. To disengage the
auto synchronization feature, press the
“SYNC” button.
