Operation

A C

B. Less throttle produces low thrust, so the D. If the boat is moving and the remote con-
boat will turn more gradually. trol levers are in the neutral position, or if
there is no thrust because the engines
B are stopped, the boat will go straight
even though the steering wheel is turned.
You need throttle to steer.

D

C. Pulling the remote control levers back to
idle or the neutral position produces only
minimum thrust. If you are traveling at
speeds above trolling, you will have rap-
idly decreasing ability to steer without
throttle. You may still have some turning Turning left
ability immediately after pulling the re-
mote control levers back to idle, but
when the engines slow down, the boat
will no longer respond to steering wheel
input until you apply throttle again or you
reach a trolling speed.
At trolling speed, the boat can be turned
gradually by steering wheel position
alone using just the amount of thrust
available at engine idle.
