In the upper port corner of the display menu is the CRUISE button. To activate, turn the
engine on. While in NEUTRAL, press the cruise button on your display to
engage/activate the system into speed control mode. Press the red button to turn the speed
control ON. Adjust the target speed on the display if necessary with the “UP
↑
” and
“DOWN
↓
” arrows to set your rider’s desired speed. The system’s cruise will take over
when the boat speed has reached the target speed. When boat speed gets closer to the
target speed, you will notice the speed control system take control of engine speed and
the display will change from “ON” to “ENG” (Engaged). An audible alarm will
acknowledge engagement and a window will pop up in the solid bar at the bottom of the
display. This window at the bottom of the display is your throttle target window. The
small square above the target window is your actual throttle position.
To provide the system with the tolerance needed to maintain steady speed, adjust your
throttle to position the small square in the center of the target window.
When the small square is centered in the target window, the Precision Pro Speed Control
System will hold the desired target speed. If the small square is to one side of the target
window, the computers will have limited authority to adjust the throttle. If throttle
adjustment is needed to hold the target speed, the window will close and display “more
throttle”, apply more throttle to adjust.
To disengage:
Simply pull back on the throttle. If you advance the throttle, the system will re-engage at
the target speed. To turn the system off:
Press the red button in the display or turn the ignition key OFF.
With the system ON, you will be limited to target speed. However, the driver must be
aware that under certain conditions it is possible to exceed target speed and therefore
proper caution must be taken.
If you forget to turn the system on before you pulled the rider up, you can push the red
button to turn the system ON, however you will need to reduce the boat speed to at least
6 MPH below the target speed and then back up to get the system to engage.
To exit the CRUISE display and return to the default screen, press CRUISE twice.
Notice:
MaliView only — If you have “CRUISE” on and turn the key off,
“CRUISE” will be on the next time you turn the key on.
Notice:
You have the ability to set your boat up so that “CRUISE” is
always on by changing your favorite screen.
