MANUAL OVERRIDE OF SHIFT AND THROTTLE CONTROLS MAY
SEVERELY LIMIT YOUR BOAT CONTROL. IT SHOULD ONLY BE USED
IN AN EMERGENCY, AND IF YOU ARE UNABLE TO CALL FOR
ASSISTANCE. PROCEED WITH EXTREME CAUTION. ALWAYS
WEAR A PFD AND LANYARD.
WARNING
A. COTTER PIN
B. CONTROL CABLE
Engaging the Actuator(s)
Using the actuator override system may severely limit your boat’s control.
It should be used in an emergency if you are unable to call for
assistance. Always try alternative controlling devices. Proceed with
extreme caution, read User’s Manual, always wear a PFD and lanyard.
1. Leave engine running. Do not key off when attempting to engage
manual override. Allow actuator to remain in disabled state. Do
not operate controls while attempting to manual override. Crank
mechanism poses pinch hazard at all times.
2. Remove cover.
3. On shift control mechanism, remove cotter pin (A) and slide eye
terminal off post. Pull or push control cable (B) into desired gear.
4. Confirm desired gear is engaged before applying throttle.
5. On throttle control mechanism, remove cotter pin and slide eye
terminal off post.
6. Very slowly pull or push control cable to increase ‘+’ rpm.
No more than 1” or 25mm should be required.
7. Key off ignition to slow and stop vessel
Figure 4-1. Actuator manual override.
If the lever cannot be rotated
it is likely the fault is in the
engine not the control system.
NOTICE
Neutral Start Protrection Override
In the event that an actuator fails in gear the neutral start protection
function of the i7700 actuator can be overridden. To override neutral
start protection depress the “N” button on the control head, hold it
for 5 seconds and then start the engine with the button still depressed.
Once the “N” button is no longer depressed the override of the
neutral start protect function is no longer active.
Use extreme care when over-
riding neutral start protection.
Only use this feature if the
actuator has failed and the
actuator’s manual override has
been used to place the engine
in neutral.
CAUTION
