Refer to the engine operator's manual for more detailed
information on EVC and/or DTS remote controls that
are used select Volvo and MerCruiser propulsion pack-
ages.
We encourage the vessel operator to practice the basic
elements of the remote control shi and throttle seg-
ments in an open water environment. Once the opera-
tor feels comfortable with the remote control functions
he should move on to docking and maneuvering in and
out of tighter situations such as those found in marinas
and launching ramps.
