NOTICE
If your boat is equipped with a non-OEM remote
control system, ask your dealer how to properly
operate it.

Reduce throttle as soon as motor starts. Do
not run a cold motor any faster than necessary

RPM in NEUTRAL.
During the general operation of a twin engine boat, it is
advantageousforbothenginestobeoperatedatthesame
engine speed (rpm). This reduces noise and vibration,
and can increase propulsion system efficiency. Setting
the throttles so the engines are running at the same rpm
(synchronized) can be done by engine sounds or by an
engine synchronizer gauge (as described in Section E-
9M). Attempting to synchronize the engines solely by
