TO RESUME TO A HEADING
The "RESUME" button light turns on if the previous course heading is available to resume.
The previous heading can only be resumed within one minute of the Auto Heading being
disengaged or if the boat has not turned more than 90°. You can adjust these values during
configuration.
If you disengage the Auto Heading by turning the steering wheel or if you press one of the
"TURN" buttons with Auto Heading still engaged, press the "RESUME" button to resume
the previous heading.
CHANGING VESSELVIEW MODE DISPLAY TIMES
All modes display a screen on VesselView for three seconds by default. The length of time
that a screen is visible in VesselView can be changed from no display at all, display up to
10 seconds, or display the screen until changed.
To change the display time:
1. Open VesselView.
2. Select Setting.
3. Select Screen Options.
4. Select the mode you want to change.
5. Select the option you desire.
6. Press × to exit.
Cruise Control
The VesselView system features integrated throttle cruise control (cruise), which allows
the operator to limit the peak RPM of choice below Wide Open Throttle (WOT). This feature
requires VesselView. Refer to the owner's manual provided with your VesselView for
operation instructions.
These additional notes are exclusive to your package:
• You can change or disengage cruise through the screen at any time.
• Cruise resets when the key is turned off.
• If the cruise limit is changed while the levers are at WOT, cruise gradually changes to
the new speed.
• Cruise does not disengage if the ERC levers are at a higher engine speed than the
actual RPM. Bring the levers back to the forward detent to disengage.
After Break‑In Period
To help extend the life of your Mercury MerCruiser power package:
• Ensure the propeller allows the engine to operate at or near the top of the specified
WOT RPM range (Refer to
Specifications
and
Maintenance
) when at full throttle with
a normal boat load.
• Operate at 3/4 throttle setting or lower. Refrain from prolonged operation at WOT RPM.
• Change the engine oil and oil filter. Refer to
Maintenance
.
End of First Season Checkup
At the end of the first season of operation, contact an authorized Mercury MerCruiser dealer
to discuss and/or perform scheduled maintenance items. If you are in an area where the
product is operated continuously, year‑round, you should contact your dealer at the end of
the first 100 hours of operation or once yearly, whichever occurs first.
