OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS - 5

ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL (IF EQUIPPED)
This engine is equipped with a Digital Throttle Control
(DTC) system. The system uses a throttle cable
connected between the throttle handle and a Throttle
Control Positioning (TCP) sensor located on the engine.
The Throttle Control Positioning sensor provides throttle
position information to the engine management system
which, in turn, electronically controls engine throttle
movement.
This boat may also be equipped with an electronic
speed control system for skiing, wake boarding, or cruise
control. When the boat is operated in a speed control
mode, the operator may not have full control of the
throttle until the speed control system is deactivated.
Example: If the speed control system is engaged at 32
mph, the throttle handle may be "dead" when trying to
accelerate above 32 mph. The speed control system
would need to be disengaged, then the operator will gain
full control of the boat speed.
Refer to your Boat Manufacturers Owners/
Operational manual for specifi c operation and
troubleshooting information for your speed control
system.

ENGINE ALARM SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)
The PCM engine electronic system is programmed to
control the engine alarm system. This system utilizes
an audible alarm and/or optional indicator lamps to warn
the operator of possible engine problems, and that the
engine may have entered the "Power Reduction" mode
as covered earlier in this manual.
The alarm has a "self" checking feature programmed into
the system. This feature will sound the alarm for two
short pulses upon initial start-up of the engine.
If the alarm sounds during operation, immediately throttle
back to idle speed. Observe the indicator lamps to
locate the problem circuit. The engine should be shut off
to prevent damage to the engine.
NOTICE: Some boat builders may install their own
alarm system. It is recommended that the boat owner
check with his or her boat dealer for an explanation of
the particular alarm system upon initial delivery.
