Lanyard stop switch ‑ Turns the ignition off whenever the operator (when attached to the lanyard) moves far enough away
from the operator's position to activate the switch. Refer to Lanyard Stop Switch for information on the use of this switch.
Control handle ‑ Operation of the shift and throttle are controlled by the movement of the control handle. Push the control
handle forward from neutral with a quick, firm motion to the first detent for forward gear. Continue pushing forward to increase
speed. Pull the control handle back from neutral with a quick, firm motion to the first detent for reverse gear and continue
pushing back to increase speed.
Shift lock ‑ Pressing the shift lock allows the engine to shift. The shift lock must always be pressed when moving the control
handle out of the neutral position.
Trim/tilt switch (if equipped) ‑ Refer to Power Trim.
Throttle only button ‑ Allows engine throttle advancement without shifting the engine. The throttle only button can be
depressed only when the remote control is in the neutral position, and should only be used to assist in starting or warming up
the engine.
Start/stop button ‑ Allows the boat operator to start or stop the engine without using the ignition key.
Detent tension adjustment screw ‑ This screw can be adjusted to increase or decrease the effort required to move the control
handle out of the detent positions (cover must be removed). Turning the screw clockwise will increase tension.
Control handle friction adjustment screw ‑ This screw can be adjusted to increase or decrease the tension on the control
handle (cover must be removed). This will help prevent unwanted motion of the handle in rough water. Turn the screw
clockwise to increase tension and counterclockwise to decrease tension.

DTS Slim Binnacle Single Handle Console Features and Operation

1.
Operation of shift and throttle is controlled by the movement of the control handle. Push the control handle forward from
neutral to the first detent for forward gear. Continue pushing forward to increase speed. Pull the control handle back from
neutral to the first detent for reverse gear. Continue pushing back to increase speed.
2.
Trim Switch (if equipped) ‑ When the power trim switch is activated on the ERC handle, the DTS command module senses
a closed circuit for either up or down trim. The DTS command module formulates a signal and sends it to the PCM. The
PCM closes the ground circuit to the up or down trim relay.
