DTS CONTROL FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
The Cummins engine and Zeus propulsion system features MerCruiser “Smartcraft” technology which assures effort-
less, smooth shifting along with immediate throttle response and several alternate operational modes for the
(ERC) electronic remote control levers.
Below is an introduction to select remote control functions.
Read and understand the remote control operation before attempting
to operate your vessel. Practice in a controlled environment before attempting any close tracking docking and maneuvering. Always train
another crew member on operation principles should the operator become disabled. Understand the movement of
each control handle and how it effects movement of the vessel.
Refer to the control box on the opposite side of this spread for basic function location and description. Read the
“Zeus” operation manual for further detailed information.
