To Reduce Speed While Using Tigé ZeroOff GPS Cruise Control
There are three ways to reduce your speed:
• Hold down the slower button and release it when you reach the slower
speed.
OR
• Press the SLOWER button in increments. Each time the SLOWER
button is pressed, your speed decreases by about 0.2 MPH, the same
increment as the FASTER button.
OR
• Pull the throttle arm back to your desired speed.
To erase the ZeroOff GPS Cruise Control memory and regain throttle
authority, turn OFF the CRUISE CONTROL switch on the dash.
For example, if you are cruising using ZeroOff GPS Cruise Control and want
to regain throttle authority for quick acceleration, simply toggle the Cruise
Control switch OFF (this resets the memory), back off the throttle and then
move it forward to achieve your desired speed. This can be done quickly or
slowly.
TROUBLESHOOTING
No throttle power when you start your boat engine:
Move throttle to neutral and verify that the dash Cruise Control switch is
toggled OFF.
Boat does not seem to maintain speed on turns or in rough waters:
Verify that you have given your boat plenty of throttle authority (move the
throttle forward).
Engine power cuts out and then in:
This usually occurs when the throttle is positioned at, or near, the set
speed. Move the throttle to the full forward position after the speed is set,
giving ZeroOff GPS Cruise Control adequate throttle authority.
SAFETY EQUIPMENT
Federal and local laws require certain safety equipment to be onboard
at all times. In addition, responsible boaters carry other equipment in
case of emergency. Check with local boating authorities for any additional
requirements over and above federal requirements.
Refer to Section 2, SAFETY, Required Safety Equipment.
BOARDING
When boarding the boat, always step in. Do not jump. Avoid stepping on
fiberglass or other potentially slippery surfaces. Board one person at a time.
DO NOT board the boat while carrying gear. Set gear on the dock, board the
boat and then pick up the gear.
BOAT LOADING
The performance of your boat is dependent on load weight and distribution.
Passengers should board one at a time and should distribute themselves
to maintain trim. Remember to distribute weight from right to left, and also
from front to back.
All passengers should be carefully seated and not be riding on the deck,
gunwale or rear sun deck while underway. Passengers riding in the bow
should exercise extreme caution. Do not overload the open bow area. Never
seat more than three people in the open bow area (See seating chart on
page 10). Refer to the Capacity Label and Seating Chart for number of
people allowed in the bow area. Children under 11 years of age should not
