During.the.general.operation.of.a.twin.engine.boat,..
it.is.advantageous.for.both.engines.to.be.operated.at.
the.same.engine.speed.(rpm)..This.reduces.noise.and.
vibration, and can increase propulsion system effi-
ciency..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..
Attempting.to.synchronize.the.engines.solely.by.using.
tachometer.readings.or.manually.controlling.the.
throttle.lever.placement.will.generally.not.be.effective..
Please.note.however.with.the.electronic.dual.binnacle.
control.engine.synchronization.is.made.easier.without.
the.need.for.engine.synchronizer.gauge..When.the.
engines.are.in.proper.synchronization,.the.throttle.
levers.may.not.necessarily.be.in.the.same.position.
