Volvo Aquamatic Tow Control Tachometer, Tow Control Panel and EVC Panel
Volvo Aquamatic Tow Control
(MSX Premier Package)
M3 and M5 boats equipped with the MSX Pack-
age and Volvo engines are equipped with Volvo
Aquamatic electronic controls and Tow Control
technology. A key pad on the EVC panel and the
LCD screen on the tachometer or Tow Control
Panel key pad and LCD screen allows the operator
to set and adjust the rpm end point for the desired
speed. When activated, Tow Control automati-
cally accelerates the engine until it reaches your
pre-set engine speed and maintains that speed
to avoid going too fast or too slow for your skier
or wake boarder.
To activate the system, the operator uses the
key pad on the EVC and the LCD screen on the
tachometer or Tow Control Panel key pad and LCD
screen to enter the rpm end point for the desired
speed. When the control handle is advanced
50
to the forward, full throttle position, the control
system recognizes the setting and automatically
accelerates the engine at its peak to the preset
speed selected. Minor speed adjustments can be
made in Tow Mode using the - or + buttons on
the key pad. Any movement of the control handle
will cancel Tow Mode and return the system to
manual control.
The information in this manual is an overview of
the operation of the Volvo Tow Control system.
Your engine Operator's Manual provides complete
information on the operation and maintenance of
the control system. It is essential that you read
the manual and completely understand the Tow
Control system features and operation before
operating your boat. Please contact your dealer
or the Monterey Customer service department if
you have any questions regarding the operation
of the control system.
