Refer to the plotter owner’s manual in the Skipper’s Kit for a detailed
description of the functions.

3 - Auto Pilot Control Head
Refer to the auto pilot owner’s manual in the Skipper’s Kit for a
detailed description of the functions.
4 - Throttle Controls
The throttle control lever for the port engine is the port side lever and
the throttle control lever for the starboard engine is the starboard
lever. NEUTRAL is at the center, FORWARD is forward (away from
you) one detent and REVERSE is aft (toward you) one detent.
Gradually push forward to go into FORWARD and continue to push
forward to increase engine speed. Gradually pull aft to go into
REVERSE and continue to pull toward you to increase engine speed.
Always return the controls to NEUTRAL when the engines are not
running.
5 - Engine Ignition Starting / Stopping - Key Switch
Panel
Key switches are used to START/STOP the engines. This type of
switch works on the same principle as an automobile. Refer to the
engine owner’s manual in the Skipper’s Kit for complete details.
BLOWER - This switch activates the engine compartment ventilation
blowers to help remove explosive fumes from the area. The blowers
must be operated for a minimum of 4 minutes each time before
starting the engines or generator. In addition, the blowers should be
operated continuously when at idle or running at slow speeds.
BATTERY PARALLEL - This is a momentary function that controls
the battery parallel solenoid. When this button is pressed, the battery
parallel solenoid is energized, connecting the two cranking batteries
in parallel. When it is released, the solenoid is de-energized. This
function should be used only when one of the cranking batteries is not
charged sufficiently to start the corresponding engine.
BATTERY LINK, ACC / STBD - This is an indicator light, indicating
that the starboard and accessory batteries are linked together,
charging the accessory battery. The “linking” is automatic. Whenever
the starboard battery is above voltage (engine running), it charges the
accessory battery. It will also “link” if the battery charger is energized.
6 - Fireboy Alarm
The display unit has an indicator lamp to indicate the fire suppression
automatic fire extinguisher status. The lamp should glow when the
ignition switch is in the ON position, indicating a charged system.
Should the system discharge, the lamp will not glow. Refer to the fire
suppression owner’s manual in the Skipper’s Kit for complete details.
