NOTE: In certain modes, gear position is determined by the position of the shift valves on the transmission, not the position of the
ERC levers. When using the joystick or while in Skyhook, the computer moves the transmission in and out of gear even though
the handles are in neutral.
a - Neutral
b - Forward (port mounted handle). reverse (starboard mounted handle)
c - Forward (starboard mounted handle). reverse (port mounted handle)
The amount of force needed to move the ERC handle and to move the ERC handle through the detents is adjustable to help
prevent unwanted motion of the handle in rough water.
