ELDEAN OPERATING MANUAL

 | 

43

Engage 

With both engines set to approximately the same RPM, depress the top of the Engine Sync rocker. The 

engines will synchronize.

Disengage 

To disengage the synchronizing feature, 

be sure the “Slave” throttle is in the same relative position as 

the “Master”

 (to avoid a sudden swerve) and depress the bottom of the rocker.

Cruise 1/2

A kind of “marine cruise control”. Cruise 1 sets the engines to a high speed setting of 2100 RPM. Cruise 

2 sets the engines to 1200 RPM.

Activate 

To activate, put the cruise switch in the desired position. When the throttles are set to or higher than 

that preset switch RPM, the preset will activate. “Cruise” can be used simultaneously with the “sync” 

feature, therefore it is suggested that you engage “synch” before “cruise”.

Deactivate 

To deactivate, return the Cruise switch to the middle position. The engines will then ramp up or down 

to the actual throttle setting(s).

Slow Idle 

The “Slow Idle” rocker allows the boat to operate more slowly in “No Wake” zones by reducing idle 

speed to 550 RPM. 

Note: Because of the risk of engine stalling, “Slow Idle” should NEVER be used 

when docking or doing other maneuvers lest an engine stall! Use only when idling in one direction to 

control wakes...

Activate 

To use the “Slow Idle” feature, the engine(s) must be in gear, with the throttle(s) in the “idle” position. 

Then turn the feature on by depressing the top of the rocker switch. The idle speeds will drop to 550 

RPM.

Deactivate 

To turn off the Slow Idle mode, depress the bottom of the rocker switch. The engine(s) will return to 

the normal idle speed. 

Note: Adjusting the throttle(s) for a higher speed will temporarily turn off the 

slow idle feature, but it will resume when the throttle is returned to idle.

RPM

This rocker switch allows adjustment of the idle speed for engine warmup, for example. With the en-

gine idling, pressing the top of the rocker increases engine idle speed, pressing the bottom decreases 

it. The RPM rocker does not work with the Slow Idle feature described above; use of Slow Idle deacti-

vates the RPM setting.

Emergency Controls

There are emergency throttle controls to the right of the helm to be used if the standard 

controls should fail.

4J4: Engine Monitors

Engine Status is shown on the Cummins Engine Monitor, an LCD display at the helm. Press 

home for selections, then use the up- down-left-right and select key.

Emergency controls.

Engine monitor.
