Our engine configuration selection tool allows you to choose your layout with confidence, knowing the right components required.
Traditional cables vary by the stiffness of the core wire and how tightly it fits in the casing. The shapely, balanced handle provides a very comfortable feel and the state of the art mechanism guarantees a smooth yet solid action, assuring you have maximum control at all times.
This control is designed for twin engine applications. CH series of controls are suitable for use with both universal type or OEM type control cables without. Optimus Joystick Control System Optimus by SeaStar uses state-of-the-art electronics to provide easy degree maneuvering capabilities when docking, negotiating crowded areas or loading a vessel onto a trailer.
Even novice boaters using the Optimus Joystick Control System can confidently move the boat forward, backwards, diagonally, rotate it on its own axis, or even move sideways to accomplish tricky docking maneuvers.
As the operator easily moves the joystick, the SmartCylinders and actuators respond instantly to independe. Optimus Electronic Power Steering This new and innovative product was developed because boating operators are asking for increased comfort, lighter steering loads and car-like steering response when on the water. The Optimus Electronic Power Steering system for twin outboard configurations is very similar to the power steering in your car.
Optimus will provide operators ease of control when steering their boat at speed and lighten the steering load during low speed mane. Contact information. Exhibitor at. METS - stand s Check to see if the engine throttle lever is now at the WOT wide open throttle position.
If it is not, measure how many millimeters mm you need to add or subtract and return to step 1. Step 6. When complete install the locking clip or cotter pin to secure the cable to the throttle lever. Shift Direction and Neutral Step 1. Determine if the transmission shift lever is push or pull for forward gear on the engine. Step 3. Place the i control lever in the Fwot position. The select light will blink a one for Push for forward or a two default to pull for forward.
Place the shift cable anchor in its normal lock position. Adjust the barrel on the cable threads until it drops onto the shift lever in neutral. Wiggle the lever back and forth to determine if the shift lever is in the neutral detent. When satisfied with the adjustment use the jam nut to lock the barrel in place. Connect the shift cable to the shift lever but do not install the locking clip or cotter pin.
Move the engine shift lever to the forward position and check if the cable will drop onto the lever. If it does not, measure how many millimeters mm you need to add or subtract to have the shift cable drop onto the shift lever. Record this number. Move the shift lever to the R reverse position. Place the engine shift lever in the reverse position. Check if the shift cable will drop onto the shift lever. If it does not, measure how many millimeters mm you need to add or subtract to have the shift lever in the reverse detent.
To add or subtract travel to the shift cable strokes do the following. To change the Forward shift stroke place the Control lever in Forward. Press the N button to increase the stroke or the S button to shorten the stroke. Note the cable will not move until you return to the run mode. To change the Reverse shift stroke place the Control lever in Reverse. Step 4. Connect the shift cable and check to see if the engine shift strokes are now moving the shift lever to the correct positions.
If not, measure how many millimeters mm you need to add or subtract to each and return to step 1. When complete install the locking clip or cotter pin to secure the cable to the shift lever. Note: To eXIT the Calibration mode after any step, return the shift lever to neutral, press the N and S buttons together for 4 four seconds and release.
Note: Teleflex recommends a sea trial at the end of the setup process. Any setting requiring additional adjustment can be directly accessed using the handle and the N and S button. Ensure all connectors are plugged in and properly seated.
Key Switch Check 1. Turn the battery switch and the engine breaker on. The Control levers should be in the neutral position; the green SEL light and yellow lights should be on. Note: The green light will be blinking on a dual station system. Press the SeL Button and the green light and yellow lights will come on. After Checking the Installation - Boat in Operation After Installation and Check out is complete and with the boat operating in open water: 1. Check Neutral Start Protect to assure that the boat cannot be started in gear.
This is shown on the diagrams on pages 16 and In some installations the full sweep of the control handle may encounter an obstruction or lose calibration. These procedures allow recalibration of the various style controls. The select lamp will turn on.
The S lamp will go out. The select lamp will blink indicating the process is complete. The port S lamp will go out. The select lamp will flash, indicating the process is complete. The sync lamp will turn on. The starboard S lamp will go out. Press the SYNC button. The sync lamp will flash indicating the process is complete. Some features are selected by ordering the correct part number while others are set in the field.
All key items are defaulted to the most common selection or normal starting point. The first column shows what features are set with the control head, the last column shows the default setting for that feature. A section with a short explanation of the various features follows the table.
To set all features contact your dealer. Sync - Power Train or Cruise The i offers two types of engine synchronization. Power Train Sync is the default selection and may only be changed with an i display.
The feature is turned on or off using the sync button on the control head of multi-engine systems. Cruise Sync automatically engages when the feature is made active using the sync button on the control head and the following two conditions are achieved.
If either condition is no longer present each engine follows its OWN control handle. Lead Handle - Port or Starboard This sets which engine handle is the lead and used to operate the system when power train sync is operating. The default is Port and may only be changed with an i display.
Split Range Throttle This feature increases the amount of throttle lever movement for a give change in throttle. It also limits the maximum amount of throttle that can be selected. The feature makes it easier to select an exact speed and limits the amount of power that can be applied.
This is handy in trolling and docking situations. Forward Throttle Curves This allows the engine to throttle in a manner different from the motion of the throttle handle movement. This is sometimes a useful tool as not all boats and engines respond in a similar manner. The following charts show the various responses that are available.
The F1 curve is the default. With an i any of the available curves may be selected. Reverse Throttle Curves This allows the engine to throttle in a manner different from the motion of the throttle handle movement. The R1 curve is the default. This is a smart delay and causes no shift delay in normal operation.
Example, if the throttle is immediately moved from full forward to full reverse the throttle will immediately go to idle and the transmission to neutral. Assuming the boat has been at full throttle for a good while the delay will then occur before going to full reverse.
The default delay times is 6. Once again, since this is a smart delay and removes itself in normal operation no delay is noticed in the operation of the system. For a complete explanation of the Programmable Shift Delay see the i technical manual. A manual setting method is also available with an i display.
This adjusts the tachometer input to the type of engine that is being used. The default is a 6 pole tachometer signal. See Appendix E for additional details. Some engines are push for throttle while others are pull for throttle. The default is push for throttle which covers the majority of outboards.
Throttle Stroke Adjusts the length of the throttle stroke. The default is 50 mm. The default is pull for forward which is common for many outboards. Forward Shift Stroke Sets the shift stroke distance in the forward direction. The default is 32 mm. Reverse Shift Stroke Sets the shift stroke distance in the reverse direction. Requiring a different shift stroke setting in the forward and reverse direction is common. When turned On this feature automatically jiggles the shifter to get to neutral.
This is accomplished by the shift actuator going a little past the neutral point and then pulling back to the neutral setting. This artificial jiggle places the gear into neutral. The default is off as most engines do not require this feature. The primary use of this feature is to protect against small children on the boat from accidentally taking control at an unmanned station.
See Operators Manual for details. The default is Off. Window Filters On some engines the tachometer signal is quite erratic.
The Window Filter is used to smooth the tachometer output from the control system. The four settings are as follows. The default is no filter. Throttle Offset Allows electronic adjustment of the throttle idle position so the throttle handles can be aligned without repetitive mechanical adjustments. On multi-engine boats it is desirable to have both throttle handles start to advance the throttles at the same time. This can be difficult to set on some outboards.
This feature lets you electronically set the point where the throttle starts. The default is Off and an i is required to use this feature. Docking Modes This feature only applies to triple and quad engine installations. This determines the action the center engine will take when docking or maneuvering. There are two choices and they can only be set with an i As soon as the control handles are placed in different gears the center engine is disengaged.
When the handles are returned to the same gear, forward or reverse, the center engine follows the outer engines.
