Before shifting an engine into or out of gear, always
return its throttle to the extreme low speed position.
Failure to follow this procedure could result in serious
damage to the engine’s drive train.
Because your boat has dual engines, it is recommended
that you operate the engines at the same speed while
cruising. This reduces engine noise and vibration, and
improves engine efficiency.
Use the optional engine synchronizer gauge to monitor
the speed of each engine. Adjust the throttles so that
the synchronizer gauge needle is centered.
NOTE: Aligning the throttles with each other does not
necessarily mean the engines are synchronized. To
accurately synchronize the engines, rely on the tachom-
eters or the engine synchronizer gauge.
Throttle Synchronizer
The optional throttle synchronizer allows you to elec-
tronically and mechanically interconnect both engine
throttles. This allows you to increase and decrease
engine speed using one throttle lever. This also keeps
the engines precisely synchronized. Refer to the OEM
information for details on operating the throttle syn-
chronizer.
Control Cables
Push-pull cables are used to connect the shift and
throttle levers to the engines. Refer to the OEM infor-
mation for details on adjusting and maintaining the
shift and throttle control systems.
Your boat uses a hydraulic steering system. This system
is preferable over a mechanical steering system because
it provides better response for large boats.
The boat's helm is connected to the rudders through a
hydraulic pump, a network of hydraulic lines, an oil
reservoir, a hydraulic cylinder, and a tiller tie rod.
When the helm is turned, oil pumps through the hy-
draulic line, which activates the hydraulic cylinder. The
