2.2 Operation of the control station levers
In case of single-engine boats, the control stations are provided with a lever (the port lever); in case of twin-
engine boats, the control stations are provided with two levers: the port lever controls the port engine and
the starboard lever controls the starboard engine.
The position of the levers determines the operating conditions of the engines. Each lever angle gives a
proper shift position and throttle value.
In the twin-engine control station, the levers work in the same way.

NEUTRAL - When the lever is in central position, the engine is in neutral and at idle.
DETENT FORWARD -When the lever has a forward inclination of 15° the relevant shift is enabled and puts
into forward gear. The throttle remains at idle.
DETENT REVERSE -When the lever has a reverse inclination of 15° the relevant shift is enabled and puts into
forward gear. The throttle remains at idle.
ACCELERATION - When the lever inclination angle is higher than 15° the engine acceleration starts. The
maximum acceleration value (full speed) is obtained with a lever inclination of 80°.
The throttle detent forward and detent reverse are controlled in a similar way.
The throttle answer with respect to the lever angle can be selected by the user during calibration.
RETURN TO NEUTRAL - When the lever is put in the centre again, the throttle is at idle and the shift is in
neutral position. The control station signals that the lever has reached the neutral position with a short
sound.
