Control Handle ‑ Operation of the shift and throttle are controlled by the movement of the control handle. Push the control
handle forward from neutral with a quick, firm motion to the first detent for forward gear. Continue pushing forward to increase
speed. Pull the control handle back from neutral with a quick, firm motion to the first detent for reverse gear and continue
pushing back to increase speed.
Active Light ‑ The active light is illuminated to show the remote control is active and ready for use.
Neutral Light ‑ The neutral light is illuminated when the engine is in neutral gear position.
Start/Stop Button ‑ Allows the boat operator to start or stop the engine without using the ignition key.
Throttle Only/Station Select Key ‑ Allows engine throttle advancement without shifting the engine. The throttle only/station
select button also allows the boat operator to select which remote control is in control of the engine operation when operating
with multiple helms. Refer to Dual Helm Station Transfer.
Detent Tension Adjustment Screw ‑ This screw can be adjusted to increase or decrease the effort required to move the
control handle out of the detent positions (cover must be removed). Turning the screw clockwise will increase tension.
Control Handle Friction Adjustment Screw ‑ This screw can be adjusted to increase or decrease the tension on the control
handle (cover must be removed). This will help prevent unwanted motion of the handle in rough water. Turn the screw
clockwise to increase tension and counterclockwise to decrease tension.

Dual Console Control with CAN Trackpad Features and Operation

Dual‑Handle Console Control With CAN Trackpad: Features and Operation
1. Operation of shift and throttle is controlled by the movement of the control handle. Push the control handle forward from
neutral to the first detent for forward gear. Continue pushing the handle forward to increase speed. Pull the control handle
back from neutral to the first detent for reverse gear. Continue pulling the handle back to increase speed.
2. Trim switch (if equipped) ‑ Pressing the trim switch allows the engine to trim up and down.
3. Neutral lights ‑ The neutral lights illuminate when the engine is in neutral gear position. The lights will flash when the
engine is in throttle only mode.
NOTE: Gear position is determined by the position of the shift actuator on the engine, not the position of the control handle.
4. Troll button ‑ Pressing the "TROLL" button activates troll control. The troll control feature allows the boat operator to set the
engine speed for slow speed cruising or maneuvering. To activate, move the control handles into forward detent and press
the button. Use the ‑ or + buttons to decrease or increase speed, up to a maximum of 1000 RPM. If troll control is set at a
desired speed and then shut off, the system remembers the set speed and will return to that speed when reengaged. To
turn off the troll control press the "TROLL" button, move the throttle to a different speed, or shift the engine into neutral.
5. Transfer button ‑ Pressing the "TRANSFER" button allows engine operation to be transferred from a different helm. Refer
to Helm Transfer.
6. Dock button ‑ Pressing the "DOCK" button initiates docking mode. Docking mode reduces throttle capacity to
approximately 50% of normal throttle. To turn off docking mode, shift the engine into neutral and press the "DOCK" button.
