Helm Control Systems
be used to operate the boat on the two remaining
engines or just the center engine, if it is available.
When only the port and starboard engines are
selected, the port lever will control the port engine
and starboard lever controls the starboard engine.
The center engine will remain in neutral.
When all three engines are selected during normal
operations, the center and port engines are con-
trolled by the port control handle. The computer
automatically synchronizes the rpm of the center
and port engines whenever all three engines are
selected. Another engine synchronizer feature
built into the control system can be selected to
synchronize all three engines.
Quad Engine Controls
The helm is designed for a binnacle style control
with a single lever for the port and port center
engines and another single lever for the starboard
and starboard center engines. The electronic con-
trol system consists of three major components:
the electronic control head, display screens and
keypad, control processors and applicable har-
nesses. The controls are completely electronic
and there are no cables.
Each single lever operates as a gearshift and a
throttle. General control lever operation will in-
clude a position for neutral (straight up and down
or slightly aft of vertical), a forward position (the
1st detent forward of neutral) and a reverse po-
sition (the 1st detent aft of neutral). Advancing
the control lever beyond the shift range advances
the throttle in forward or reverse. Each control is
equipped with a means of permitting the engines
to be operated at a higher than normal idle RPM
while in neutral for cold starting and warm-up
purposes. The control levers are equipped with
adjustable control head detent and friction set-
tings.
On quad engine boats, an engine selector switch
on the binnacle control panel allows the operator
to select which engines provide the forward and
reverse thrust, for optimum control and handling.
LED lights on the control indicate which engines
are selected.
Typically, the center engines are disengaged
during docking and while maneuvering in tight
quarters to improve handling. They can also be
disengaged while operating at slow or trolling
speeds to save fuel. If an engine fails, the se-
lector switch can be used to operate the boat on

the remaining engines or any combination of the
available engines.
When only the port and starboard engines are
selected, the port lever will control the port engine
and starboard lever controls the starboard engine.
The center engines will remain in neutral.
When all four engines are selected during nor-
mal operations, the port and port center engines
are controlled by the port control handle and
the starboard and starboard center engines are
controlled by the starboard control handle. The
computer automatically synchronizes the rpm of
the port center engine with the port engine and
the starboard center engine with the starboard
engine whenever all four engines are selected.
Another engine synchronizer feature built into the
control system can be selected to synchronize all
four engines.
Control Functions and Features
Most electronic engine controls and key pad have
integrated switches and indicator lights which al-
low the operator to control all aspects of the boat’s
propulsion system. LED lights on the control pad
indicate that the control is activated and the en-
gines can be started.
