Sea Trials
At the conclusion of the Operational Tests described above, the EEC4 system is ready for operation.
There are no functional tests that need to be completed at sea trial to validate correct system installa-
tion. However, if the opportunity is available to provide product operational training to the boat owner,
the following outline is suggested.
DO THE FOLLOWING . . .
System Startup — Demonstrate the startup of
the control system by turning ON either engine
ignition switch.
WARM Mode (Gear Lockout) — Place system
in WARM Mode by pressing and releasing the
WARM button.
Advance the control handles past idle ahead
gear detent and throttle up engines.
Normal / Cruise Mode — With the control han-
dles in NEUTRAL, press and release the WARM
button — the WARM light should go out to indi-
cate that the control system is in the normal
"cruise" operating mode.
Move the control handles in and out of gear to
gain familiarity with gear response.
Station Transfer (multi-station applications)
— Before the boat gets underway, follow the sta-
tion transfer described in the Operators Manual
and transfer control from one control station to
another.
Repeat the process until the boat owner / oper-
ator is comfortable with the process.
Automatic Synchronization — After the boat is
underway and is in a safe area that will allow
maneuvering, enable the automatic synchro-
nization capability by pressing and releasing the
WARM / SYNC button. Both control handles
must be in ahead gear and within 10% of each
other in order to enable synchronization.
Section 1.0 — Installing the EEC4
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING . . .
The EEC4 system is operational when ACTIVE
light is ON at the main station.
The WARM light should come on to confirm that
the gear operation is locked out — verify that
this is correct before moving control handles.
The engines are able to be throttled up
("warmed" up) at the dock while the gear is
locked in NEUTRAL.
Observe the rate of gear response — gain famil-
iarity with the feel of control system.
After the first button press but before pressing
the ACTIVE button a second time, observe the
quick blinking or slow blinking ACTIVE station
light corresponding to whether the control han-
dle is in an "appropriate" position.
While in the Automatic Synchronization mode,
the SYNC light will be illuminated.
While in Automatic Synchronization mode, the
system will automatically match the PORT
engine speed to the STBD engine.
