4.1 General
The helm controls consist of three systems: the
engine throttle and shift controls, the steering
system, and the trim tab control switches. These
systems provide the operator with the ability to
control the direction and attitude of the boat from
the helm station.
Each manufacturer of the control components
provides an owner’s manual with its product. It is
important that you read the manuals and become
familiar with the proper care and operation of the
control systems.
4.2 Engine Throttle & Shift Controls
The shift and throttle controls on your boat may
vary depending on the engine and options se-
lected. The following description is typical of most
cable and electronic control systems. Refer to the
engine or control manual for specific information
on the controls installed on your Boat.
Cable Engine Controls
Cable engine throttle and shift control systems
consists of three major components: the control
handle, the throttle cable and the shift cable. The
cables are all the push-pull type. Two cables are
required for each engine and control. One con-
nects the remote throttle control to the engine
and the other connects the remote shift control
to the shift linkage.
The helm is designed for a binnacle mount control
with a single lever for each engine that operates
as a gear shift and a throttle. General operation
will include a position for neutral (straight up and
down), a forward position (the 1st detent forward
of neutral), and a reverse position (the 1st detent
aft of neutral). Advancing the control lever beyond
the shift range advances the throttle in forward or
reverse. Each control is equipped with a means of
permitting the engine to be operated at a higher
than idle RPM while in neutral for cold starting and
warm-up purposes.
Electronic Engine Control- Single Engine
The helm is designed for a binnacle style control
with a single lever. The electronic control system

consists of three major components: the electronic
control head, instruments and keypad, the control
processors and applicable harnesses. The control
is completely electronic and there are no cables.
The control has a single lever for the engine that
operates as a gearshift and a throttle. General op-
eration will include a position for neutral (straight
up and down or slightly aft of vertical), a forward
position (the 1st detent forward of neutral) and
