Function and operation of components
■
Joystick switch
The joystick switch transfers boat operation
from the remote control and steering helm to
the joystick.
While the engine is running, placing the re-
mote control lever and the joystick lever in
the N position and pushing the joystick
switch enters the joystick mode, allowing op-
eration with the joystick lever.
The active indicator illuminates during oper-
ation. Engine speed is limited in joystick
mode. While in the joystick mode, the steer-
ing wheel is locked.

2. Joystick switch
Pressing the joystick switch, shifting the re-
mote control lever into F or R, or stopping the
PORT or STBD engine exits the joystick
mode. Even if the center engine is stopped,
the PORT and STBD engines can be control-
led by the joystick. The active indicator will
turn OFF.
TIP:
When exiting the joystick mode even if the
steering wheel is turned, the engines will au-
tomatically return to the initial positions.
■
High mode switch
The function of this switch is to allow the en-
gine to run at a higher speed than normal, if
extra power is needed (e.g., when there is
strong wind or current). Pressing the high
mode switch while in joystick mode engages
the high mode. The active indicator illumi-
nates during operation.
