We recommend that you drive carefully until you have a chance to explore the Axius
system's handling characteristics and boat's responses in an open area clear of
obstructions or other boat traffic. The initial steering setting of two turns lock‑to‑lock provids
a fast steering response. Maneuvers at speed can be more abrupt than expected. The
distributor can adjust the number of turns, if desired.
Dual‑Handle Electronic Remote Control (ERC) with DTS Trackpad Features and
Operation
OPERATION
The electronic remote control (ERC) handle operates the shift and throttle. Push the ERC
handles handle forward from neutral to the first detent for forward gear. Continue pushing
the ERC handle forward to increase speed. Pull the ERC handle from the forward position
to the neutral position to decrease speed and eventually stop. Pull the ERC handle back
from neutral to the first detent for reverse gear. Continue pulling the handle back to increase
speed.
NOTE: When using the joystick, the computer moves the sterndrive in and out of gear
even though the ERC handles remain in neutral.

starboard lever adjustment.
2. Turn the screw clockwise to increase tension on the control handle and
counter‑clockwise to decrease tension.
3. Adjust to tension desired.
