Master/Slave Arrangement

For dual engine installations both engine ECMs can
be tied together electronically. One engine will then be
the "master" engine and the other will be the "slave"
engine. The starboard engine or the engine with the
power steering pump is always connected as the
"master" engine. If one engine has a fault that causes
it to go into Engine Protection Mode (low oil pressure
or engine overheat), also called Speed Limited Oper-
ator Warning (SLOW), the other engine will follow suit.

Power Trim/Tilt

Your Volvo Penta sterndrive is equipped with a power
trim/tilt system as standard equipment. The power
trim/tilt allows you to change the angle of the drive unit
from the helm. Changing the angle of the drive unit in
relation to the boat bottom is called trimming. Trim-
ming provides these benefits:
•
Improves acceleration to planing.
•
Keeps the boat on plane at reduced throttle set-
tings.
•
Improves fuel economy.
•
Provides smoother and/or drier ride in choppy
water conditions.
•
Increases maximum speed.
If you do not wish to use this feature, you may leave
the drive unit trimmed to the position that works best
for you.
