Engine & Controls
Using Joystick Control High Mode Function
Sometimes a strong wind or current will need to be off-
set by engaging the high mode function at the joystick
control. Once activated the engine idle will increase. This
feature can be especially useful when trying to dock or
maneuver in tight areas.
To use the High Mode Function;
1. Activate the high mode by pressing button (B) on the
joystick (see the illustration).
2. You will hear an audible signal indicating the docking
mode is activated and the docking lamp above the high
mode button will light (see illustration).
3. At this point the vessel can be maneuvered by moving
the joystick fore and aft, sideways, or rotating the vessel
by twisting the joystick top. See the illustration on the fol-
lowing page.
4. Leave the high mode function by pressing button (B).
An audible signal will sound twice to confi rm that the
high mode function is deactivated and the light will go
out.
5. The system is now in normal docking mode not con-
nected to the joystick control.
NOTICE
USE THE JOYSTICK ONLY IN DOCKING
SITUATIONS. USE THE STEERING WHEEL
AND CONTROLS IN ALL OTHER
APPLICATIONS.
JOYSTICK CONTROL-VOLVO
Using Joystick Control Docking Mode Function
When using the joystick for docking the engine rpm scale
is limited and the boat can only be steered with the joy-
stick.
For the docking mode to be activated the engines must
be running, the remote control levers must be in the neu-
tral position, with an active helm station, and the joystick
handle must be centered.
First, activate the docking mode on the joystick by de-
pressing the “docking” button (A). You will hear an au-
dible signal confi rming the docking function is activated
along with a button lamp being energized. The joystick
is now the control for docking and low speed maneuver-
ing.
Next, to deactivate the docking mode depress the docking
button on the joystick. Again, an audible signal will sound
twice to confi rm that the joystick docking mode is now
deactivated and the docking button light will go out.
Note: If the remote controls are moved from the neutral
position the docking function will deactivate.
