3.2 Control Head (EST System)
The control head is the primary user interface for conventional shift
and throttle control.
The control head operates the gear shift and the throttle for each engine.
This is accomplished using electronic signals to direct individual
actuators for each function and each engine. The control head also
allows various features like sync and trolling to be selected.
On single helm station boats the shift and throttle control head takes
command when the ignition is turned on and the levers are in the
neutral position. The blue Take Command light will come on solid
when active.
For more detailed control head operation, refer to Section 4.0.
