HELM CONTROL SYSTEMS
2.1 General
The helm controls consist of three systems: the engine throttle and shift controls, the steering
system, and the trim tab control switches. These systems provide the operator with the ability
to control the direction and attitude of the boat from the helm station.
Each manufacturer of the control components provides an owner’s manual with its product. It
is important that you read the manuals and become familiar with the proper care and operation
of the control systems.
2.2 Engine Throttle and Shift Controls
The shift and throttle controls on your boat may vary
depending on the engines used. The following control
description is typical of most inboard remote controls.
Refer to the engine or control manuals for specific
information on the controls installed on your Pursuit.
The helm is designed for a binnacle style engine throttle
and shift control system that typically consists of three
major components: the helm throttle and shift controls,
the throttle cables and the shift cables. The cables are the
push-pull type. Movement of the helm control arm
pushes or pulls a cable that operates the engine throttle
or transmission control lever. One control arm and
cable is required for each engine throttle to control the
carburetors (fuel injection systems on diesels and most
gasoline engines), and one control arm and cable is required to control each transmission. A
typical twin engine inboard will have two throttle controls and two transmission controls at each
helm station. Each control is equipped with a means of permitting the engine to be operated at
a higher than idle RPM while in neutral for cold starting and warm-up purposes. Some diesel
powered boats also may be equipped with a cable throttle friction brake located on the throttle
cable near the fuel injection system. The friction brake may be required to overcome the return
spring pressure on the fuel injector throttle lever and prevent the throttle from creeping back.
During most operations of a twin engine boat, it is advantageous for both engines to be operated
at the same RPM. This reduces noise, and vibration, and can increase engine efficiency. Setting
