4 System Faults and
Hazards
Should a fault occur, it will be communicated to the user though the
control head LEDs. Section 4.1 defines the types of hazards you may
experience with the system and how the system will handle each.
NOTICE!
When a serious fault occurs, consider your options. While the system has
many features to allow the boat to return to port in a slow and safe manner,
local conditions or operator skills may dictate that calling for assistance is
the prudent thing to do.

Warning
A warning is a non-critical system fault which may cause the boat speed to
be reduced.
Although a warning fault may not always adversely affect shift and throttle
performance, it is an indication of a problem in the system and should be
remedied. In some cases the fault can be reset by cycling the system
power, but it may require attention from a certified technician.
