Helm Control Systems
Tilt Steering Wheel
The steering wheel can be tilted to ve dierent
positions by activating the tilt lock lever located
on the bottom of the helm station. When the
lever is released, it automatically locks the steer-
ing wheel at or close to that angle. Refer to the
steering manufacturer owner’s manual for specic
information on the steering system.
4.8 Joystick Controls
A joystick control system is an option with twin
engine electronic steering. The joystick can only be
used at slow speeds. It is engaged by moving the
shift and throttle controls to the neutral position
and pressing a button on the base of the joystick
control or the keypad on the main engine controls.
Once activated, the boat moves in the direction the
joystick is pushed with engine speed increasing
the further the stick is pushed, up to preset limits.
Turning the knob on top of the joystick rotates the
boat in the direction the knob is turned. Another
button on the joystick or engine control key pad
raises the preset engine speed for maneuvering
in high winds and/or strong tides.
When the joystick is released, it automatically
returns to center, the engines shift to neutral,
rotate to the straight ahead position, and the
engine speed is reduced to idle. It is deactivated
by pressing a button at the base of the joystick or
control keypad or by moving the shift and throttle
control levers.
Both engines must be running for the joystick
control to maneuver boat properly.
Always refer to the engine manufacturer or control
system owner’s manuals for specic information
on the operation and maintenance for the joystick
and steering control systems on your boat.
