Item Control Function
f "+" Increases brightness settings for CAN pad, VesselView and SmartCraft gauges.
g "THROTTLE ONLY"
Allows the boat operator to increase engine RPM for warm‑up without shifting the
transmission into gear.
h "–" Decreases brightness settings for CAN pad, VesselView and SmartCraft gauges.
i "1 LEVER" Enables the throttle and shift functions of both engines to be controlled by the port lever.
j "SYNC" Turns off or on the auto‑synchronization feature.
NOTE: Not all functions may be active.
Dock
Dock mode is available with joystick operation and remote control lever operation. Dock mode reduces throttle capacity to
approximately 70% of normal joystick throttle demand, allowing finer control of engine power in close quarter situations. If more
power is needed for vessel maneuvering when environmental conditions require more thrust, use the electronic remote control
levers.
"DOCK" button
Throttle Only
NOTE: The joystick can become active when it is moved any time the engines are running and the ERC levers are in the
neutral position. Throttle only mode should be used to disable the joystick if the captain is not in command at the helm. Placing
the ERC in throttle only will avoid unintended gear engagement. The engines will turn using the steering wheel or the joystick
and the RPM of the engines can be increased while in the throttle only mode, but the gear position will remain in neutral.
"THROTTLE ONLY" button
To engage throttle only mode:
1. Place both ERC levers in neutral.
2. Press the "THROTTLE ONLY" button. The button light will turn on and the neutral lights will blink.
3. Place either ERC lever into gear. The warning horn will beep each time the levers are moved in and out of gear while in
throttle only, but will remain in neutral.
4. The RPM of the engines can be increased.
5. Throttle only mode also affects the joystick. The engines will move and the RPM can be increased, but will remain in
neutral.
NOTE: Pressing the "THROTTLE ONLY" button while the ERC levers are not in the neutral position, turns the button light off
and remains in throttle only mode. You must place the ERC levers into the neutral position to disengage throttle only mode.
To disengage throttle only mode:
1. Place both ERC levers into neutral. Throttle only will not disengage unless the ERC levers are in neutral.
