HELM TRANSFER
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 helm transfer. If
conditions do not allow the remote control to be placed at idle
position, a helm transfer can be done while in gear.
