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.

Heading Adjustment and Override
When Auto Heading is engaged, the steering wheel feels locked into a detent. Approximately 3.4–4.5 kg (8–10 lb.) of force are
required to overcome this detent. Manually overcoming the steering wheel's detent puts Axius into standby mode.

2. The joystick provides a 1° course correction for each press to the port or starboard.
Standby
