GAUGE MAINTENANCE
The gauges on the helm instrument panel should be protected from the sun and weather when not in use . The gauges are NOT
waterproof . Protecting the gauges from the elements prolongs their life .
NOTE: Condensation can form behind the glass bezel on some gauges . The condensation does not mean the gauge
is defective . The Marquis Limited Warranty does not cover the replacement of gauges that are cosmetically
affected by condensation .
HELM CONTROLS
The helm controls allow the operative to engage with the engine’s activity, control the
yacht’s speed, engine RPM’s, and control the yachts direction .
SHIFT-THROTTLE LEVERS
Two shift-throttle levers allows the operative to shift the engines from, neutral to forward
or neutral to reverse, to control the engines’ RPM’s . See below for lever position guide:
Above Neutral Position 1.
: Shifts the engines to forward and increases the RPM
levels
Center Position 2. : The engines remain in neutral at their lowest RPM levels .
below Neutral Position 3. : Shifts the engines to reverse and increases the RPM
level
The shift/throttle levers are located on the STDB side of the steering wheel . The outboard lever controls the STDB engine, and the
inboard lever controls the PORT engine . The engines can be shifted/throttled independently to improve maneuverability in tight
quarters .
NOTE: Carver recommends operating the engines at the same speed while cruising . Doing so, reduces engine noise,
engine vibration, and improves engine efficiency .

The engines are equipped with an automatic synchronization system .
