SYNCHRONIZING DUAL HELMS PRIOR TO STATION TRANSFER

Pressing the station select button and holding it in allows the boat operator 10 seconds to
match up the control handle settings at the new station with the handle settings that are at
the old (to be inactive) station. If the handles are not matched, the neutral light 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 released. Transfer process
is complete and the new station is now in control. If the button is held for over 10 seconds,
the station transfer is cancelled.
