Operation
Stopping the engine
1. Move the remote control handle to NEUTRAL.
2. Turn ignition key to
OFF.
Caution!
Do not stop the engine at speeds above idle or “speed
up” the engine while turning off the ignition. Engine dam-
age could result.
Operating remote controls
Familiarize yourself with remote control operations before
starting the engine.
Side mount control
To disengage the shift mechanism:
1. Place the control handle in NEUTRAL.
2. Press both NEUTRAL lock button and the SHIFT DIS-
ENGAGE button.
3. Move control handle FORWARD to increase throttle.
The
NEUTRAL lock and shift mechanism will automatically
engage when the control handle is returned to NEUTRAL.
Top mount control
To disengage the shift mechanism:
1. Push in and hold shift disengagement button.
2. Move control handle
FORWARD to increase throttle.
The shift mechanism will automatically engage when the
control handle is returned to
NEUTRAL.
Steering system operation
The steering system for your Volvo Penta sterndrive is
operated by a steering cable connected to the helm.
Restricting movement of the steering cable will limit or stop
the steering system’s hydraulic assist.
Do not interfere with or restrict steering cable movement
through the last 90° of bend at the engine. Do not use
cable retainers, clamps or tie straps. Using one or all of
these could restrict the cable movement near the engine.
Do not tie wiring harnesses or other control cables to the
steering cable. Make sure deck combing and bulkheads
allow for steering cable movement.
Caution!
If the power steering system stops working, it will feel
harder to steer. If this condition occurs, look for pos-
sible causes and fix them if possible. If the power steer-
ing system cannot be corrected on board, proceed at a
reduced speed. You will be able to steer the boat, but
with increased effort. See your authorized Volvo Penta
dealer as soon as possible to correct your power steer-
ing system.
At slow speeds (no wake), your boat may tend to wander.
This is normal and may be overcome by anticipating bow
direction and correcting with steering wheel. A slightly
higher throttle and trim setting may also lessen the
tendency to “wander.” Changing weight distribution, aft to
forward, can also affect slow speed steering.
Twin unit steering
Twin engine boats may have only one engine with a fully
operational power steering system. That power steering
system is on the starboard engine; therefore, when
operating on a single engine use the starboard engine.
NOTE! Using a port engine that does not have a functional
power steering system will cause an increased ef-
fort in steering control, due to absence of power
assist.
Some twin engine boats may have both engine power
steering systems coupled together with a priority valve.
This allows the use of either engine to provide power
assist steering.
