Quicksilver 755PH — System & Component Overview and Operation
38
Mechanical Operation
At the exterior helm there is a helm selector switch located on the port side, left of the control unit.
The helm selector switch mechanically “locks out” the control unit to make sure that you can only
control the engine from one helm. The gear & throttle mechanisms are located in the cockpit bilge.
Helm Control Transfer
When the switch is in vertical position, the control is set to be at the main helm. To switch control
from the main helm to the exterior helm, pull out and rotate the handle clockwise 90 degrees until it
locks into position. You will now have control of the engine at the exterior helm. To return control
back to the main helm, pull out and rotate the handle counter-clockwise 90 degrees until it locks into
position.
The steering system is independent of the helm selector switch and will operate at all times. DO NOT
TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AT THE HELM THAT DOES NOT HAVE FULL CONTROL OF THE BOAT!
DTS Operation
At the main helm (located inside the cabin) and the exterior helm there is a “Transfer” indicator light
on the control function pad. The light on this panel will illuminate when electronic control of the helm
is available.
The engine can only be initially started from the main helm with the control in the neutral position.
Once the engine is running, the “Neutral” indicator will be on for the main helm. Engine control can
then be transferred to the exterior helm station.
NOTE
: The DTS control unit must be in the neutral position (engine running, propeller not spinning) at
both helms before transferring control.
Helm Control Transfer
To switch control from the main helm to the exterior helm, start at the exterior helm with the control
in the neutral position, press and release the “Transfer” button on the engine control function pad.
Pressing this button will immediately transfer throttle and shift control. The “Transfer” button will
illuminate and two loud beeps will be heard. This completes the helm control transfer.
To return control back to the main helm, move the control to neutral. Go to the main helm, press and
release the “Transfer” button on the engine control function pad.
Pressing this button will immediately transfer throttle and shift control. The “Transfer” button will
illuminate and two loud beeps will be heard. This completes the helm control transfer.
The steering system is independent of the helm selector switch and will operate at all times. DO NOT
TURN THE STEERING WHEEL AT THE HELM THAT DOES NOT HAVE FULL CONTROL OF THE BOAT
Hydraulic Steering
The exterior helm comes with an additional steering helm, steering wheel, and steering hoses that
connects to the base steering system. The operation of the system is similar, where when you turn
the steering wheel the helm pump forces hydraulic fluid through hoses to and from the steering
cylinder which is connected to the tiller arm on the engine. Even though the helms are connected, the
steering wheels will not rotate together when one wheel is turned.
