DTS Shadow Mode—Triple Engines
When both ERC throttle levers are in the same position (same direction), the center engine will duplicate the RPM of the outer
engine with the lowest RPM. When the throttle levers are in opposing positions (opposite directions), the center engine will be in
neutral at idle speed.
If one outer engine is not operating but the key is in the on position, you must engage the throttle lever of that engine (the engine
not operating) to raise the RPM of the center engine. The higher the throttle position—the higher the RPM of the center engine.
If the outer engine's key is in the off position, the center engine's RPM is controlled by the throttle lever of the running engine.
In all cases, start the engines with both levers in the neutral position.
DTS Shadow Mode—Quad Engines
The ERC port lever operates the two port engines and the starboard lever operates the two starboard engines. If one throttle lever
fails, all engines will be operated by the throttle lever that is functional. In open water the functional lever will operate the vessel
at any throttle percentage while you control the direction of the vessel using the steering wheel.
In all cases, start the engines with both levers in the neutral position.
Cruise Control
The VesselView system features integrated throttle cruise control called Cruise, which allows the operator to limit the peak RPM
of choice below wide open throttle (WOT). Refer to the owners manual provided with your VesselView for operation instructions.
These additional notes are exclusive to your package:
•
You can change or disengage Cruise through the VesselView 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, then use VesselView to disengage Cruise.
•
Cruise mode will disengage if both ERC levers at the active helm are placed in neutral.
•
Cruise mode will disengage when Skyhook is requested and engages.
Helm Transfer—Standard Stations
Helm Transfer
Some boats are designed to allow control of the vessel from more than one location. These locations are commonly referred to
as helms or stations. Helm transfer is a term used to describe the method of transferring control from one helm (or station) to
another helm.
!
WARNING
Avoid serious injury or death from loss of boat control. The boat operator should never leave the active station while engine is
in gear. Helm transfer should only be attempted while both stations are manned. One‑person helm transfer should only be
performed while engine is in neutral.
The helm transfer function allows the boat operator to select which helm is in control of the vessel. Before a transfer can be initiated
the ERC levers at the active helm and at the helm intended for the transfer must be in the neutral position.
NOTE: If you attempt to transfer helm control when the ERC levers are not in neutral, a beep will sound and the helm transfer will
not succeed until the levers at the helms are moved to neutral and transfer is requested again.
