Type S controls for maneuvering trolling valve
Single lever control
Volvo Penta single lever controls have functions for ac-
celeration and reverse gear maneuvers combined in
one lever. When starting, for example, the shift function
can be easily disengaged so that only the engine speed
(rpm) is affected by the lever. When maneuvering the
boat astern or ahead the control mechanism in the unit
ensures that the engine speed drops to idle speed at
the moment shifting occurs.
The control lever has an adjustable friction brake. A
neutral contact which allows the engine to be started
only when the reverse gear is disengaged is available
as an accessory.
A double single-lever unit is available for use with twin
engine installations.
Single lever controls with a single function are suitable
for controlling a trolling valve, if fitted. One of these is
the type S control.
VP dual controls
1. Lever for reverse gear maneuvers (black handle)
Position N – Neutral
From N to F – reverse gear engaged for forward movement.
From N to R – reverse gear engaged for reverse movement.
2. Lever for controlling engine speed (rpm) (red handle)
NB dual controls
1. Lever for reverse gear maneuvers (black handle)
Position N – Neutral
From N to F – reverse gear engaged for forward movement.
From N to R – reverse gear engaged for reverse movement.
2. Lever for controlling engine speed (rpm) (red handle)
One brake can be adjusted by turning this handle in order to
counteract the regulator power.
Dual lever control
These controls have separate levers for acceleration
and shifting. A mechanical lock means you can shift
only when the acceleration lever is in the idling position.
The controls have a neutral switch to prevent starting
with the reverse gear engaged. Both control levers have
separately adjustable friction brakes.
