Low Speed Trim
In controlled speed zones, many boats start to fall off plane as speed
decreases, thereby reducing visibility. In automatic control or manual control,
lowered trim tabs keep the boat on plane longer at lower speeds while maintaining
a level boat attitude.
Special Digital Throttle and Shift (DTS) Features
The DTS system features several alternate operational modes for the electronic remote
control (ERC) levers. Most of the listed features can be operated simultaneously and can
help you with:
• Warming the engines.
• Trolling the vessel.
• Docking the vessel.
• Synchronizing the engines.
• Dual helm station transfer.

Item Control Function
a "NEUTRAL" lights
Illuminate when the transmission is in the neutral gear
position. The lights flash when the engine is in throttle only
mode.
b "TROLL"
Troll reduces the propeller speed to lower than that of engine
speed for the first 25% of lever travel.
c "TRANSFER"
Allows boat control to be transferred to a different helm. Refer
to Dual Helm Station Transfer.
d "DOCK"
Reduces the throttle capacity to approximately 50% of normal
throttle.
e "THROTTLE ONLY"
Allows the boat operator to increase engine RPM for
warm‑up, without shifting the transmission into gear.
f "1 LEVER"
Enables the throttle and shift functions of both engines to be
controlled by the starboard lever.
g "SYNC"
Turns the auto‑synchronization feature off or on. Refer to
Synchronizing Engines.
h "+" (increase) and "–" (decrease)
Increases and decreases idle speed only. The RPM range
varies depending on application and engine model.
NOTE: Not all functions may be active.
