1 Lever
The outboard joystick system features the ability to command both engines with a single lever on a dual‑engine application.
This feature simplifies engine management during rough sea conditions by allowing you to use a single lever to command both
engines simultaneously. It has no affect on the joystick function. It is not the same as the system feature called Sync.
To engage 1 Lever mode:
1.
Place both ERC levers in neutral.
2.
Press the "1 LEVER" button. The button light will turn on.
3.
Place the starboard ERC lever into gear.
4.
When the handle is moved, the engines RPM and gear position is synchronized.
To disengage 1 lever mode:
1.
Place both ERC levers in neutral.
2.
Press the "1 LEVER" button. The button light turns off.
Sync
Sync is an automatic engine synchronization feature that is always on unless it is turned off. Sync monitors the position of both
ERC levers. When both levers are within 10% of one another, the port engine synchronizes to the starboard engine's RPM. The
SmartCraft system will automatically disengage sync after 95% of throttle position range to allow each engine the ability to
reach maximum available RPM. Sync cannot engage until the engines are at a minimum speed.
The indicator light on the "SYNC" button is on when both engines are on. The light is yellow at idle and 95% of throttle and
when the engines are not synchronized. The light turns red when the engines are synchronized.
The RPM display of VesselView also shows an orange icon under the RPM numbers if the engines RPMs differ more than 10%
of each other, and the icon turns red when they are synchronized.
To disengage sync mode:
1.
Place the ERC levers in any detent.
2.
Press the "SYNC" button. The button light turns off.
To engage Sync mode, press the "SYNC" button at any time.
