Dual Helm Station Transfer; Synchronizing Dual Helms Prior To Station Transfer - Mercury 350 MAG Manual

Auto Synchronizing will stay engaged up to 95% throttle opening. The Sync light will turn on when the engines are synchronized.
To disengage, move one or both control handles until they are more than 5° apart, reduce engine speed below 900 RPM, or
increase engine speed beyond 95%.

Dual Helm Station Transfer

The throttle only/station select button allows the boat operator to select which remote control is in control of the engine operation.
The active light is illuminated at the remote control station that is in control of the engine.
Avoid serious injury or death from loss of boat control. The boat operator should never leave the active station while engine is
in gear. Helm transfer should only be attempted while both stations are manned. One‑person helm transfer should only be
performed while engine is in neutral.
NOTE: Idle position is preferred when doing a station transfer. If conditions do not allow the remote control to be placed at idle
position, a station transfer can be done while in gear.
NOTE: Pressing and releasing station select button at new station allows the engine control to be transferred to the new station.
The control will automatically start adjusting engine RPM and gear position to match the control handle setting at the new station.
Adjust control handles to the desired throttle and gear position.
1. Place active remote control lever to idle position.
2. Proceed to the inactive helm station and position remote control lever to the idle position.
3. Press throttle only/station select button once. The "ACTIVE" light will illuminate to indicate the remote control station is in
control of the engine.

4. The active light will switch off at the original remote control station.

Synchronizing Dual Helms Prior To Station Transfer

Pressing the station select button and holding it in allows the boat operator 10 seconds to match up the control handle settings at
the new station with the handle settings that are at the old (to be inactive) station. If the handles are not matched, the neutral light
will flash. The light blinks faster as the handles are nearing match position. Once the light stays on continuously, the handles are
matched and the button can be released. Transfer process is complete and the new station is now in control. If the button is held
for over 10 seconds, the station transfer is cancelled.
