2.3 Operating the Houseboat from the Upper Deck
The upper controls are to be used strictly for cruising down the lake.
Do not use the upper controls when beaching, docking your houseboat or
cruising through the Sicamous Channel - you have no radio communication
from the upper deck.
In order to take command of the upper helm station simply put your boat
into neutral downstairs, go to the upper helm, press the button located
on the front of the shifter box and you will see the red light appear on the
shifter. You now have control at the upper helm. Repeat same process down
at lower helm when ready to resume control of that station. This makes it
impossible to control the boat from both positions at same time.
Resume controls at the lower helm before docking, beaching or entering
the Sicamous Channel.
Station In Command
important!
Under NO CIRCUMSTANCeS should you attempt
to dock the houseboat while driving from the
Upper Command station.
Receiving Station in NEUTRAL.
