Shadow Mode Control Features And Operation - Mercury 200 Verado Manual

Synchronizing Helms Prior To Transfer
Pressing the "TRANSFER" button allows the boat operator 10 seconds to match up the control handle
settings at the new helm with the handle settings that are at the old (to be inactive) helm. If the handles
are not matched, the neutral lights 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 pressed
again to complete the transfer. This completes the transfer process, and gives control to the new station.
If the helm transfer is not completed within 10 seconds, the action will be cancelled.
