Uern D70 — System & Component Overview and Operaon

On a standard non lt helm (non L6 Verado), the ll is located on the top of the helm pump. As an

opon, you can get a lt helm (non L6 Verado), and access to the ll on the helm pump is via a hatch

in the starboard head. On a six cylinder Verado powered boat, uid is added at the power assist

pump, located in the port side of the cockpit. To access, open the port L-Lounge seat hatch. Next,

remove the cover on the power assist pump and unscrew the cap.

Refer to the steering manufacturer’s manual in owner’s manual packet for complete instrucons and

warranty informaon.

12. Engine Controls

Depending on the engine installed on your boat, you will either have a mechanical gear shi/throle

control unit or a “drive by wire” Digital Throle and Shi (DTS®) control unit. The control unit, located

to the starboard of the steering wheel, acvates both the shiing and throle for the engine.

To start the engine, the control unit must be in the NEUTRAL posion. When in neutral, the engine is

running, but the propeller is not spinning. There is a “Throle-Only” buon that when pressed, will

allow you to operate the throle without the propeller spinning. On the mechanical shi controller,

the buon is located at the center of the throle control, and when moved back to the center

posion, the buon will automacally re-engage the shiing mechanism.

For the DTS control, the Throle Only buon is located on the lever below the handle grip. To engage,

press and hold the “Throle-Only” buon on the lever when the engine is in neutral. When you place

the ERC in gear, the warning horn will beep, however, the propeller is not turning. To disengage

“Throle-Only” return the ERC lever back to neutral.

Moving the control lever forward from neutral engages the forward gear and throle advance.

Moving the control lever backwards from neutral engages the reverse gear and thrust. The throle

lever controls the RPM of the engine and the speed of the boat.

For the DTS control, there is a Stop/Start buon. This buon allows engine to be turned on and o

independent from the master key switch.

Power Trim & Tilt

The power trim, located on the side of the gear shi throle 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

opmum run angle for the boat to achieve best all around performance (fuel consumpon, speed).
