On boats equipped with a Cruise Control System, it is possible to review various functions by toggling to the cruise control read-outs on the multi-function gauge. Note also that the throttle position must always be greater than the speed set on the cruise control. For example, if the cruise was set at 35 mph but the throttle position is equivalent to 25 mph, the boat will not reach 35. This is also true of the RPMs. Also, the cruise control cannot be engaged when the boat is at idle speed.

System Start-Up: When the ignition is turned on the cruise control system starts in the OFF mode. While it is in OFF mode, the LCD display will show the current time.

RPM Set-Point Adjustment: In order to adjust the RPM Set Point in OFF Mode, first move the RPM/SPEED mode selection switch to the RPM position. Using the +/- switch, select the desired Set Point. The RPM icon will illuminate and the LCD will display the current Set Point. Briefly pressing the +/- switch will increase or decrease the Set Point by 20 RPM. Holding the switch will increase or decrease by 100 RPM. The RPM Set Point is limited to a minimum of 1200
RPM and a maximum of 5000 RPM.

Speed Set Point Adjustment: In order to adjust the Speed Set Point in OFF Mode, first move the RPM/SPEED Mode selection switch to the SPEED position. Use the +/- switch to select the desired Set Point. The SPEED icon will illuminate and the LCD will display the current Set Point. Brief presses of the +/- switch will increase or decrease the Set Point by 0.2 mph. Holding the switch increases or decreases the Set Point by 1.0 mph. The Speed Set Point is limited to a minimum of 5.0 mph and a maximum of 50 mph.

Turning On RPM Cruise Control Mode: To turn on the Cruise Control System in RPM Control mode, make sure that the RPM/SPEED mode selection switch is in the RPM position and that the current engine speed is at least 400 RPM less than the Set Point. Press and hold the ON/OFF switch in the ON position for approximately one second. The LCD should now display the current engine speed, the RPM icon should be illuminated and the LOCK icon should be blinking.

Turning On Speed Cruise Control Mode: To turn on the Cruise Control in Speed Control mode, make sure that the RPM/SPEED mode selection switch is in the MANUAL (center) position and that current engine speed is at least 1200 RPM. Then press and hold the ON/OFF switch in the ON position for approximately one second. The LCD should display the current engine speed and the LOCK icon should be blinking.

Manual Set Point Adjustment: The Manual Set Point can be adjusted using the +/- switch. The LOCK icon will disappear and the LCD will display the current Set Point. Short presses of the +/- switch will increase or decrease the Set Point by 20 RPM. Holding the switch increases or decreases the Set Point by 100 RPM. The Manual Set Point is limited to a minimum of 1200 RPM and a maximum of 5000 RPM.

Using Speed Control Mode: Manual Control works basically in the same way that RPM Control Mode does. The difference is that when the system is turned ON in manual mode the Set Point is set to the current engine speed. For example, if the Cruise Control is OFF and the engine speed is 2500 RPM, and the system is turned on, the engine will hold the engine speed at 2500 RPM.

Disengaging the Cruise Control System: There are two ways to disengage the system. Pulling back the throttle will disengage the system at any time. The system remains ON and can be engaged by accelerating the boat until the LOCK icon stays illuminated, or by moving the ON/OFF switch to OFF. It is recommended that the throttle be pulled back before turning off the system.
