Section 3 - Screen Overview and Operation

Create Custom Launch

Create custom launch allows the operator to create a custom launch profile. The operator can adjust the set‑point of the RPM
or speed, ramp, overshoot, and overshoot duration. When the operator selects this option, the user‑selected data area will
transition to the custom profile set‑up screen.
• Use the rotary knob to move the selection box to the desired fields that require adjustment. Use the on‑screen prompt to
adjust the value of the selected item.
• After the custom profile is completed, highlight NEXT or X.
a. Select Next, and the user‑selected data area will transition to SAVE AS NEW to create a custom name for the new
launch profile. Press the rotary knob to accept the selection.
b. Selecting exit, the custom profile settings will not be saved and the screen will transition to the main Smart Tow
screen.

Cruise Control Mode

Cruise Control

The cruise feature allows the operator to select a set‑point and adjust the value so the vessel maintains a specific speed or
engine RPM.
• Cruise is RPM based, unless the vessel incorporates a Mercury Marine GPS into the control area network.
• If the vessel has a Mercury Marine GPS, the default setting is vessel speed.
• The operator can select either RPM set‑points or speed‑based set‑points. The type of cruise option can be changed in the
Settings menu.
•
Open the scroller bar and highlight the cruise icon. Refer to Scroller Bar Icons to identify the cruise icon.
NOTE: Cruise Control can be disabled by placing the remote control levers in neutral.

Cruise Control Data Area

Constant Data Area Change

Cruise will modify the constant data area of the screen by incorporating an RPM indicator within the RPM sweep, similar to
Smart Tow and ECO mode targets.
• When cruise mode is activated, elements of the constant data will be modified to communicate:
• RPM set‑point.
• RPM sweep color will change to orange when active to indicate the engine is computer controlled.
