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.

Zero Effort Features

Shift Lever - Shift functions are controlled by the movement of the shift lever. Shift into
reverse by moving the shift lever to its aft position. Shift into neutral by moving the shift
lever to its center position. Shift into forward by moving the shift lever to its forward position.
Throttle Lever - Throttle functions are controlled by the movement of the throttle lever.
Increase the RPM by moving the throttle lever forward. Achieve Wide Open Throttle (WOT)
by placing the throttle lever in its full forward position. Decrease RPM by moving the throttle
lever back. Achieve minimum RPM (idle) by placing the throttle lever in its full aft position.

Electrical System Overload Protection

If an electrical overload occurs, a fuse will blow or the circuit breaker will trip open. Find
and correct the cause before replacing the fuse or resetting the circuit breaker.
NOTE: In an emergency, when the engine must be operated and the cause for the
high‑current draw cannot be located and corrected, turn off or disconnect all accessories
connected to the engine and instrumentation wiring. Reset the circuit breaker. If the breaker
remains open, the electrical overload has not been eliminated. Further checks must be
made on the electrical system. Contact your authorized dealer.
