Section 2 - Getting to Know Your Power Package
Bravo Sterndrive Serial Number and Identification
The Bravo sterndrive serial number, gear ratio, model number, and bar code are embedded in the ground plate on the port side
of the sterndrive.
The serial number is also stamped as a permanent reference on the sterndrive casting inside the back cover.
Electronic Helm Steering
The electronic helm steering operates through electronic signals. A computer‑controlled electric motor simulates the resistance
feedback found in hydraulic steering systems.
We recommend that you drive carefully until you have a chance to explore the Axius system's handling characteristics and boat's
responses in an open area clear of obstructions or other boat traffic. The initial steering setting of two turns lock‑to‑lock provids a
fast steering response. Maneuvers at speed can be more abrupt than expected. The distributor can adjust the number of turns, if
desired.
Dual‑Handle Electronic Remote Control (ERC) with DTS Trackpad Features and Operation
Operation
The electronic remote control (ERC) handle operates the shift and throttle. Push the ERC handles handle forward from neutral to
the first detent for forward gear. Continue pushing the ERC handle forward to increase speed. Pull the ERC handle from the
forward position to the neutral position to decrease speed and eventually stop. Pull the ERC handle back from neutral to the first
detent for reverse gear. Continue pulling the handle back to increase speed.
