Control
Trim control Raises and lowers the drives for best efficiency, or for conditions such as shallow water or trailering.
Illuminate when the engine is in the neutral gear position. The lights flash when the engine is in
NEUTRAL (lights)
throttle‑only mode.
Limits the boat to idle forward at an idle speed up to a specific RPM that is programed into the PCM or
vessel personality. Use the + and – buttons to increase or decrease the speed.
NOTE: The troll feature is not available on some ERC‑mounted trackpads, only dash‑mounted. For
TROLL
vessels equipped with ERC‑mounted trackpads that do not have a troll button, the troll feature can be
accessed from VesselView.
Allows boat control to be transferred to a different helm. Refer to Helm Transfer.

Transfer (Boats Equipped with Dual Helms)

The transfer function allows the boat operator to transfer control of the boat from the active helm to the inactive helm on boats
equipped with dual helms. Refer to Helm Transfer.

Dock Mode

Dock mode reduces the RPM throughout the throttle lever range by 50%, allowing finer control of engine power in close quarter
situations. If more power is needed for vessel maneuvering when environmental conditions require more thrust, do not use
Dock mode.
NOTE: When the joystick is enabled while in dock mode, dock mode reduces available power to 70% of the already reduced
power with the joystick.
To engage dock mode:
1. Place both ERC levers in neutral.
2. Press the dock button located on the DTS trackpad.
3. The dock light turns on.
4. Place either ERC lever into gear.
