8LV Series Operation Manual
VESSEL CONTROL SYSTEM (VCS)
8LV series engine is a fully electric engine, which is controlled by Yanmar’s original “Vessel Control System
(VCS)”.
The control equipment consists of the Switch Panel, the Display, the Drive & Helm ECU, the Control Head
and the Backup Panel, which are connected by the cable harness to the engine and marine gear or stern
drive for remote control operation.
Note: The Yanmar Vessel Control System (VCS) was designed to operate the 8LV engine and drive
system. There are many control functions and diagnostic functions that are integrated together to
insure safe operation. If this system is not utilized in specific accordance with the instructions in this
manual or the system is modified in any way, Yanmar will not be responsible for any warranty failures
in the operation of the system or the vessel utilizing the system.
Yanmar has designed the Vessel Control System (VCS) in conjunction with the 8LV engine. The
system has many functions that must be configured and calibrations must be made before the
vessel can be operated. Please arrange to have a Yanmar trained technician inspect the vessel prior
to the vessels operation.
