PROPULSION SECTION 5
Helm Controls
The helm controls allow you to engage the boat’s engines, control the
boat’s speed and engine RPMs, and control the direction in which the
boat is traveling.
Shift/Throttle Levers
Two shift/throttle levers allow you to both shift the engines from neutral to
forward or reverse and control the engine RPMs. With the levers in the center
position, the engines remain in neutral at their lowest RPM levels. Lifting the
levers above the neutral position shifts the engines to forward and increases the
RPM levels. Lowering the levers below the neutral position shifts the engines to
reverse and increases the RPM levels.
The shift/throttle levers are located on the starboard side of the steering wheel.
The outboard lever controls the starboard engine and the inboard lever controls
the port engine. The engines can be shifted/throttled independently to improve
maneuverability in tight quarters. 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 engine synchronizer gauge to monitor the speed of each engine. Adjust
the shift/throttle levers so that the synchronizer gauge needle is centered.
NOTE: Aligning the shift/throttle levers with each other does not necessarily mean
the engines are synchronized. To accurately synchronize the engines, rely on the
tachometers or the engine synchronizer gauge.
Engine Synchronizer
The optional engine synchronizer allows you to electronically and
mechanically interconnect both engine shift/throttle levers. This allows you
to increase and decrease engine speed using one lever, and keeps the engines
precisely synchronized. Refer to the OEM information for details on operating
the engine synchronizer.
Shift/Throttle - Engine Interface
For the standard mechanical controls, push-pull cables are used to connect the
shift/throttle levers to the engines. Refer to the OEM information for details on
adjusting and maintaining the shift and throttle control systems.
For the optional electronic controls, the shift/throttle levers from the helm
are connected to the engines by an electronic control system. Refer to the
OEM information for details on adjusting and maintaining the shift/throttle
control systems.
