ERC Handle Friction and Detent Adjustment
The control handle friction adjustment screw can be used to increase or decrease the tension on the control handle. This will
help prevent unwanted motion of the handle in rough water.
The detent adjustment screw can be used to increase or decrease the effort it takes to move the control handle out of the
detent position.
NOTE: The control handle friction and detent adjustment screws may require periodic maintenance adjustment.
Remove the access cover from the front of the ERC to expose the adjustment screws. Using a hex wrench turn the desired
screw clockwise to increase tension, or counterclockwise to decrease tension. Install the access cover after the desired tension
is achieved.

Active Trim
Introduction to Active Trim
Active Trim is Mercury Marine's patented GPS‑based automatic trim system. This intuitive, hands‑free system continually
adjusts engine or drive trim for changes in operating conditions to improve performance, fuel economy, and ease of operation.
It responds to boat maneuvers with precision and delivers a better overall driving experience. No knowledge of trimming an
engine or drive is needed to take advantage of Active Trim.
•
As the boat accelerates, the engine or drive will trim out.
•
As the boat decelerates, for example, while making a turn, the engine or drive will trim in.
•
Active Trim can be overridden at anytime by using the regular, manual trim buttons.
•
Active Trim allows the boat operator to compensate for changes in boat load, driver preferences, and weather conditions
while maintaining full automatic control.
Modes of Operation
The Active Trim system has four modes of operation:
