V-DRIVE REMOTE CONTROL
THROTTLES-TYPICAL
1. To reach a full
throttle position
from forward or re-
verse gear simply
push in forward gear
or pull in reverse
gear until the desired
revolutions per
minute (rpm’s) is
reached.
2. You will learn to
synchronize both
engine throttles to
the tachometers
with experience.
You will need to
make minor adjust-
ments while cruising
to your remote con-
trol throttle handles. Eventually your ear will sense
whether both engines are running at the same speed and
rpm.
See illustration E for maximum throttle position. See il-
lustration B for minimum throttle position.
