Helm Control Systems
• Station selection (a separate button on
Yamaha controls) that allows the operator to
transfer control from one station to another
with the push of a button on boats with two
helm stations. Each station must be selected
by the operator before the controls will operate
from that station.
These features and others not mentioned require
specific procedures to activate and operate them
properly. Some of the procedures and features
are unique to the engines and other options
installed on your boat. It is essential that you
read the owner’s manual for the controls and be
completely familiar with their operation before
using your boat.
CAUTION
ALWAYS RETURN THE ENGINE THROTTLE LEVER TO THE
EXTREME LOW SPEED POSITION AND ALLOW THE ENGINE
TO DROP TO IDLE RPM BEFORE SHIFTING. NEVER SHIFT THE
UNIT WHILE ENGINE SPEED IS ABOVE IDLE RPM.
Engine Synchronizer
During most operations of twin and triple engine
powered boats, it is advantageous for both engines
to be operated at the same RPM. This reduces noise
and vibration and can increase engine efficiency.
Setting the throttles so that the engines are run-
ning the same RPM (synchronized) can be done by
listening to the engine sounds at low RPM and with
the automatic synchronizer feature built into the
electronic engine controls when the engines are op-
erating above 1000 RPM. Attempting to synchronize
the engines solely by using the tachometer readings
or control lever placement generally will not work.
When the engines are in proper synchronization, the
throttle levers may not necessarily be even.
Please refer to the engine or control owner’s manu-
als for more information on the engine synchronizer
and other features for the electronic controls in-
stalled on your boat.
4.3 Neutral Safety Switch
Every control system has a neutral safety switch
incorporated into it. This device prohibits an en-
gine from being started while the shift lever is in
any position other than the neutral position. If
the engine will not start, slight movement of the
shift lever may be necessary to locate the neutral
position and disengage the safety cutout switch.
Control adjustments may be required to correct
this condition should it persist. See your Ever-
glades dealer for necessary control adjustments.
The neutral safety switches should be tested peri-
odically to ensure that they are operating properly.
To test the neutral safety switches, make sure the
engines are tilted down and move the shift levers
to the forward position.
Make sure the throttle control levers are not ad-
vanced past the idle position. Press the Start But-
ton just long enough to briefly engage the starter
for the engine. The starter should not engage for
either engine. Repeat this test with the shift levers
in reverse and the engine throttles at idle. Again,
the starter should not engage for either engine. If
the starter for any engine engages with the shift
controls in any position other than the neutral
position, then the neutral safety switch is not
functioning properly and you should contact your
dealer to have the neutral safety switch repaired
by a qualified marine mechanic before using the
boat. If an engine starts in gear during this test,
immediately move the control lever to the neutral
position and turn the engine off.
WARNING
IN SOME SITUATIONS, IT MAY BE POSSIBLE TO ACCIDENTALLY
START THE ENGINES IN GEAR WITH THE THROTTLES ABOVE
IDLE IF THE NEUTRAL SAFETY SWITCH IS NOT OPERATING
PROPERLY. THIS WOULD CAUSE THE BOAT TO ACCELERATE
UNEXPECTEDLY IN FORWARD OR REVERSE AND COULD
RESULT IN LOSS OF CONTROL, DAMAGE TO THE BOAT OR
INJURY TO PASSENGERS. ALWAYS TEST THE NEUTRAL
SAFETY SWITCH PERIODICALLY AND CORRECT ANY
PROBLEMS BEFORE USING THE BOAT.
4.4 Engine Power Tilt and Trim
All outboard engines have a tilt and trim feature.
Most outboard engines have tilt/trim switches built
into the engine shift and throttle controls that allow
the operator to control the position of the outboards
from the helm. Typically, a switch or switches on
the port control lever grip activates the tilt/trim
for the engines simultaneously. Yamaha engine
controls have two switches for twin engines or
three switches for triple engines on the cover that
activate each engine tilt/trim individually. The
maximum tilt angle on the Yamaha F350 engines is
preset at the factory. If necessary, the maximum
tilt angle can be adjusted by your Everglades or
Yamaha dealer by reprogramming the settings us-
ing the Yamaha engine diagnostic system.
