9.2 Joystick Tuning Procedure

The joystick tuning procedure is organized into ten steps, detailed
in the following sections. The entire procedure can be performed
with either the color CANtrak display, as shown in this section, or
with Datalink, as shown in Appendix B. Tuning with the CANtrak has
the advantage that it will simultaneously tune all connected joysticks,
which makes it simpler to tune dual station boats.
General notes
• The joystick tuning procedure consists of several steps, each of
which may contain several sub-steps. To differentiate between
these we use all capital letters to denote the main STEPS, and
lower case letters to indicate the sub-steps.
Example: Adjust the parameter as shown in step 7 of STEP 8.
before you Start
• Trim both engines down and ensure that the correct propellers are
installed. You will need to repeat the joystick tuning procedure if
you change the propellers afterward.
• Warm up the engines thoroughly before you begin.
Erratic engine performance, stalling, or other engine control issues
will affect the operation of the joystick control system. Any such
issues must be addressed before attempting joystick setup.
9.2.1 Step 1 – Import engine-Specific Settings
There are some system parameters that need to be set for specific
engines. You will do this by importing these settings with a simple
wizard on the CANtrak display.
1. On the display, navigate to dealer menu > Initial Setup > joystick.
This is your home base for the joystick tuning procedure, and the
numbered steps will help lead you through the tuning process.
