feature simplifies engine management during rough sea conditions by allowing you to grasp
a single lever to command both engines simultaneously.

SYNC
The Axius system features Sync, an automatic engine synchronization feature, which
engages automatically at key‑up. Sync monitors the position of both levers. If both levers
are within 10% of one another, the port engine synchronizes to the starboard engine's RPM.
The smartcraft system will automatically disengage Sync at the last 10% of lever range to
allow each engine the ability to reach maximum available RPM. Sync cannot engage until
its minimum RPM is met.
