To operate a boat equipped with Mercury outboards, select the
1 LEVER button on the throttle control mount. To operate a stern
drive model with a single lever, select the SYNC button on the
throttle control mount.
To operate the engines separately, disengage the 1 LEVER
button for Mecury engines or the SYNC button for Ilmor engines
and use the dual throttle separately.
On models equipped with Mercury outboards, click the
DOCK button on the throttle control mount when docking
the boat or maneuvering at slow-speeds. This function will
automatically reduce the amount of horsepower the boat will
use when the throttle is engaged.
For stern drive boats, use the up and down trim buttons on
the throttle lever to bring both engines up or down at the
same time. You can also use the up and down buttons on
the front of the throttle control mount to raise and lower the
engines separately.
The neutral safety prevents the boat from starting the engine
while in gear. It will disable the engine START-STOP buttons
when the throttles are not in the neutral position.
SPECIAL NOTE: During regular warm-up of the engines, it is possible
to temporarily increase the engine RPMs without moving the boat.
To accomplish this, select the THROTTLE ONLY button located on
the throttle control mount and shift the lever forward into gear. The
engines will run with increased RPMs and can be increased or
decreased by moving the lever. Returning the handle to the neutral
position will bring the system back to neutral and reduce the engine
RPMs to preset levels.
By clicking the THROTTLE ONLY button on the throttle control
mount, the throttle will rev the engine without engaging the
transmission. Click this button once to engage the throttle
without the transmission, and click it again to operate the
boat normally.
This function should be done sparingly. Over-revving the engines
for any extended period can cause undue wear and tear on the
engines. Avoid advancing to wide-open-throttle and holding the
RPMs at that level.
Troubleshooting
If the shift/throttle levers will not move, contact your authorized
Aviara dealer. Never attempt to shove or force the levers. If they
do not move smoothly when operated as indicated, there may
be an issue involving the system that requires correction in an
area under the deck, which is inaccessible to the consumer.
