Both engines are operated at the same en-
gine speed and the throttle and shifting of
both engines are controlled using the left and
right throttle/shift paddles. "DRiVE" is shown
for the mode status.
Use this mode to make small throttle adjust-
ments when operating the boat at slow
speeds, such as when docking. (See page 36
for information on the throttle/shift paddles.)
TIP:
 If the remote control levers are moved from
the neutral position to the forward or re-
verse position while the throttle/shift pad-
dles are not being operated, the operation
mode will change to the running mode.
When the DRiVE mode is activated, the en-

gine speed will be controlled.
