HELM CONTROL SYSTEMS
2.1 General
The helm controls consist of the following:
engine throttle and shift controls, the steer-
ing system, the outdrive tilt and trim control,
and the trim tab control switches. These
systems provide the operator with the abil-
ity to control the direction and attitude of the
boat from the helm station.
Each manufacturer of the control compo-
nents provides an owner’s manual with its
product. It is important that you read the
manuals and become familiar with the
proper care and operation of the control
systems.
2.2 Engine Throttle and Shift Controls
The shift and throttle controls on your boat may vary depending on the engine(s) used. The
following description is typical of most inboard/outboard remote controls. Refer to the engine or
control manual for specific information on the control installed on your Denali.
The engine throttle and shift control system consists of three major components: the control handle,
the throttle cable, and the shift cable. The cables are all the push-pull type. Two cables are required
for each engine and control. One connects the remote throttle control to the engine and the other
connects the remote shift control to the outdrive shift linkage.
The helm on your Denali is designed for a binnacle style control with a single lever for each engine
that operates as a gear shift and a throttle. General operation will include a position for neutral
(straight up and down), a forward position (the 1st detent forward of neutral), and a reverse position
(the 1st detent aft of neutral). Advancing the control lever beyond the shift range advances the
throttle in forward or reverse. Each control is equipped with a means of permitting the engine to
be operated at a higher than idle RPM while in neutral for cold starting and warm-up purposes.
