HELM CONTROL SYSTEMS
2.1 General
The helm controls consist of the following: engine throttle
and shift controls, the steering system, the outdrive tilt
and trim control, and the optional 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.
2.2 Engine Throttle and Shift Controls
The shift and throttle control on your boat may vary depending on the engine used. The following
control description is typical of most inboard/outboard remote controls. Refer to the engine or
control manual for specific information on the control installed on your Denali.
The engine throttle and shift control system 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.
One connects the remote throttle control to the engine and the other connects the remote shift control
to the outdrive shift linkage.
The helm on your Denali is designed for a binnacle style control with a single lever 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.
ALWAYS RETURN THE ENGINE THROTTLE LEVER TO THE EXTREME LOW SPEED PO-
SITION BEFORE SHIFTING. NEVER SHIFT THE UNIT WHILE ENGINE SPEED IS ABOVE
IDLE RPM.
