1 Lever
The joystick piloting system features the ability to command both engines with a single lever on a dual‑engine application. This
feature simplifies engine management during rough sea conditions by allowing you to use a single lever to command both
engines simultaneously. It has no affect on the joystick function. It is not the same as the system feature called Sync.

Sync
Sync is an automatic engine synchronization feature that is always on unless it is manually turned off. Sync monitors the
position of both ERC levers. When 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 after 95% of throttle position range to allow each
engine the ability to reach maximum available RPM. Sync cannot engage until the engines are at a minimum speed.
The indicator light on the SYNC button is on when both engines are on. The light is yellow at idle and 95% of throttle and when
the engines are not synchronized. The light turns red when the engines are synchronized.

2. Press the SYNC button. The button light turns off.
To engage Sync mode, press the SYNC button at any time.
