Throttle Only
Placing the ERC in throttle only mode will avoid unintended gear engagement. The RPM of the engines can be increased while
in 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, if equipped. The RPM can be increased, but the transmissions will remain in
neutral. See the Joystick Piloting for Inboards operation manual for further details.
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.
2. Press the THROTTLE ONLY button. The button light will turn off.
3. The neutral lights stop flashing and remain illuminated.
1 Lever
The 1 Lever feature enables the ability to command both engines with a single lever on a dual‑engine application. This feature
simplifies engine management during rough sea conditions by allowing you to use a single lever to command both engines
simultaneously. It is not the same as the system feature called Sync.
1 LEVER button
To engage 1 Lever mode:
1. Place both ERC levers in neutral.
2. Press the 1 LEVER button. The button light will turn on.
3. Place the starboard ERC lever into gear.
4. When the handle is moved, the engines RPM and gear position is synchronized.
To disengage 1 Lever mode:
1. Place both ERC levers in neutral.
2. Press the 1 LEVER button. The button light turns off.
