The ERC (electronic remote control) lever is too hard or too
easy to move out of neutral detent.
Adjust detent tension. See Section 1.
The ERC lever has too much or too little resistance through
its range of motion.
Adjust the handle tension screw. See Section 1.
The ERC lever increases engine RPM, but the engines do not
engage gears and the boat does not move.
Turn the key switch to off and back to on.

Check VesselView for Guardian fault codes that indicate reduced
engine power. If found, contact your Authorized CMD Repair
Facility.
The ERC lever controls the engine and drive, but does not
respond in a linear manner.

on, put the handles in neutral and push the "1 LEVER" button to
disengage.
