Mercury 200 Verado FourStroke Operation And Maintenance Manual page 52

The ERC levers must be in neutral to perform a helm transfer. While in
neutral your vessel could drift and collide with objects nearby resulting in
damage. Keep an adequate look out while performing the helm transfer.
To avoid damage, use extra care when attempting a helm transfer while the
vessel is close to docks, piers, or other fixed items or when near other vessels.
REQUESTING HELM TRANSFER
NOTE: Any movement of the ERC levers after pressing the TRANSFER button
terminates the helm transfer request. A single beep sounds and the transfer
button light turns off signaling the end of the transfer request.
To request the transfer of vessel control from one helm to another:
1. At the helm you are requesting be made active and with the ERC levers in
neutral, press the TRANSFER button one time. After the TRANSFER
button is pressed, the transfer button light turns on and one beep will
sound confirming the impending transfer.
NOTE: If the ERC levers at the helms are not in neutral, the neutral lights will
flash. Move all the ERC levers to neutral and the neutral light will stop flashing.
2. With the TRANSFER button light and neutral light on, press the
TRANSFER button a second time to complete the helm transfer.
3. When the helm transfer is complete, another beep sounds and the
transfer button light turns off.
NOTE: If the helm transfer is not completed in 10 seconds, the request is
automatically cancelled and a double beep sounds. Control will remain at the
existing active helm. Press the TRANSFER button again to restart helm
transfer.
4. The helm where the transfer request was initiated is now active and
controls the vessel.
