14. Engine Controls
Depending on the engine installed on your boat, you will either have a mechanical gear shi/throle
control unit or a “drive by wire” Digital Throle and Shi (DTS®) control unit. The control unit, located
to the starboard of the steering wheel, acvates both the shiing and throle for the engine.
To start the engine, the control unit must be in the NEUTRAL posion. When in neutral, the engine is
running, but the propeller is not spinning. There is a throle only buon that when pressed, will allow
you to operate the throle without the propeller spinning. On the mechanical shi controller, the
buon is located at the center of the throle control, and when moved back to the center posion, the
buon will automacally re-engage the shiing mechanism.
For the DTS control, the Throle Only buon is located on the control funcon pad. To engage, press
the “Throle-Only” buon on the keypad when the engine is in neutral. A light located above the
Throle-Only buon will turn on and the green neutral light will begin to ash. When you place the
ERC in gear, the warning horn will beep, however, the propeller is not turning. To disengage, return the
ERC lever back to neutral and press the “Throle-Only” buon. The light located above the Throle-
Only buon will turn o and the green neutral light stops ashing and remains illuminated.
Moving the control lever forward from neutral engages the forward gear and thrust. Moving the
control lever backwards from neutral engages the reverse gear and thrust. The throle lever controls
the RPM of the engine and the speed of the boat.
Power Trim & Tilt
The power trim, located on the side of the gear shi throle handle, allows you to raise and lower the
engine for trailering and launching the boat. It also allows you to adjust the engine to create the
opmum run angle for the boat to achieve best all around performance (fuel consumpon, speed).
