Synchronizer when Cruising
The synchronizer controls the engines so that they operate at the same RPM. This helps with
fuel economy and the boat will run more smoothly. A toggle switch for the synchronizer is on
the alarm panel on the overhead dashboard at the lower helm and to the starboard of the
upper helm.
To engage the synchronizer:
1.
Bring the boat up to cruising speed.
2.
When the engines are near to the same RPM
push the synchronizer toggle switch to the ‘On’
position and the synchronizer light will come on.
3.
Use both throttle controls to adjust the RPM as
desired and the synchronizer will automatically
bring the engines into synch.
4.
The synchronizer will disengage if the RPMs of
the engines become too far apart. So, turn off
the synchronizer before you throttle back to idle.
You can engage or disengage the synchronizer from
either the lower helm or the flybridge helm. To
disengage:
1.
Be sure both throttles are in the same position
2.
Push the synchronizer toggle switch to the off position
The synchronizer toggle switch is in the
center of the alarm panel on the overhead
dashboard.
