    Chapter 4: HELM CONTROL SYSTEMS 4.1 General The helm controls consist of three systems: the engine throttle and shift controls, the steering system and the trim tab control switches. These systems provide the operator with the ability to control the direction and attitude of the boat from the helm station.
  • Page 46 NOTES...
  • Page 47 Helm Control Systems The most common features activated or monitored by the keypad are: • Starter lockout, which prevents the engine from being started in gear. • Gear lockout, which allows engine RPM to be advanced in neutral safely. • Battery voltage warning indicator that warns the operator of high or low voltage supplied to the system (audible alarm).

  • Page 48: Neutral Safety Switch

    4.3 Neutral Safety Switch Every control system has a neutral safety switch incorporated into it. This device prohibits an en- gine from being started while the shift lever is in any position other than the neutral position. If the engine will not start, slight movement of the shift lever may be necessary to locate the neutral position and disengage the safety cutout switch.
