Helm Control Systems
The most common features activated or
monitored by the keypad are:
• Starter lockout, which prevents the engine from
being started in gear.
• Gear lockout, which allows engine RPM to be
advanced in neutral safely.
• Battery voltage warning indicator that warns the
operator of high or low voltage supplied to the
system (audible alarm).
• An engine synchronization feature that auto-
matically keeps all engines at the same RPM
while cruising. Refer to Engine Synchronizing
in this section and the control systems owner’s
manual for more information regarding engine
synchronization.
• Trolling feature that allows the operator to
increase or decrease engine speed in 50 RPM
increments while operating at trolling speeds.
• Station selection (a separate button on some
controls) that allows the operator to transfer con-
trol 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 ENGINES
TO DROP TO IDLE RPM BEFORE SHIFTING. NEVER SHIFT THE
UNIT WHILE ENGINE SPEED IS ABOVE IDLE RPM.
Engine Synchronizer
During most operations of triple and quad engine
powered boats, it is advantageous for all 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.
Refer to the engine or control owner’s manuals for
more information on the engine synchronizer and
other features for the electronic controls installed
on your boat.
