Gauge Maintenance
The gauges on the helm instrument panel should be protected from the sun and
weather when not in use. The gauges are not waterproof. Protecting them from
the elements prolongs their life.
NOTE: Small beads of moisture (condensation) can form behind the glass bezel
on some gauges. This does not mean the gauge is defective. The Carver Limited
Warranty does not cover the replacement of gauges that are cosmetically affected by
condensation.
The gauges can be affected by static electricity that may build up on
their glass bezels. To help reduce the static electricity and thus improve the
gauges’ accuracy, periodically wash the bezels with warm water and a mild
liquid detergent.
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 and Throttle Controls
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.
The shift and throttle controls are either mechanical or electronic.
Mechanical controls are standard; electronic controls are installed if your
boat has the lower helm.
Neutral Safety Switch
With mechanical controls, a neutral safety switch is incorporated into the
linkage of each shift/throttle lever. When properly adjusted, the safety switch
does not permit you to start an engine while it is in gear.
Shift/Throttle-Engine Interface
To connect the shift/throttle levers to the engines, mechanical controls
use push-pull cables; electronic controls use an electronic system. Refer to the
OEM information for details on adjusting and maintaining the shift/throttle
control systems.
A Tip From Carver!
If you turn the ignition switch key and the engine starter fails to engage, it may
be because the neutral safety switch for that engine is slightly out of adjustment.
If this happens, wiggle the shift lever for that engine forward and aft until the
starter engages.
