Adapter for mechanical controls

NOTE! If your boat is not equipped with an emergency stop switch and it falls into one of the following categories, installation of an emergency stop switch is recommended: - High performance sport boats or small run boats. - Boats with sensitive steering. - Boats where the distance from the top of the gunwale down to the driver’s seat is less than one foot (30 cm)

Lever friction adjustment

The lever friction can be adjusted with screw. Turn the screw clockwise to increase drag on the control lever and counterclockwise to decrease drag on the control lever. NOTE! The friction must be adjusted only when the control lever is in the throttle range. Do not adjust the friction with the control in neutral.

Neutral switch

Using an adapter for mechanical controls will enable you to use any mechanical control in combination with an EVC engine and electrically or mechanically shifted reverse gear. The adapter will transfer the mechanical push-pull movement into an electric signal. A neutral switch is fitted on the adapter. Install the control adapter as close as possible to the control station to reduce the amount of force needed to move the control and make sure the location is dry and easy accessible. If the adapter has to be installed far away from the control station there is an extension cable available in 5 m (16.5 ft) and 9 m (29.5 ft) lengths.
