Identifying DTS and Non‑DTS SmartCraft SystemsThere are a variety of SmartCraft control systems available for your Cummins MerCruiserDiesel (CMD) power package. Digital gauges can be used on a power package that usesa cable actuated remote control, and is considered a non‑DTS application. A powerpackage helm system that is controlled and managed through a control area network (CAN)can be easily identified. This manual will help identify the types of controls and give a briefoverview of the SmartCraft CAN digital throttle and shift (DTS) controls and operation.

Non‑DTS• A vessel equipped with this type of control system, in many cases, incorporates

mechanical lever controls which use cables to control the engine throttle and gearposition. These types of controls generally require more effort to move the control leversfrom the idle neutral position into gear and into a higher engine RPM. The followinggraphic shows an example of mechanical lever controls.

34968

Single and dual mechanical lever controls• The boatbuilder may have installed an electronic throttle and shift (ETS) system. An

ETS system is offered through a number of different manufacturers. These ETS typesof controls are SmartCraft systems compatible, but cannot integrate with theSmartCraft CAN system. These types of controls use a dedicated communicationharness that is not incorporated into the SmartCraft CAN communication network.

DTS ControlsYACHT CONTROL

• A vessel equipped with a SmartCraft electronic remote control (ERC), typically has aDTS trackpad integrated on the base of the control. The DTS trackpad is used to enableor disable features of the DTS system; auto synchronization, throttle only, etc. Any ERCthat includes a DTS trackpad, or a DTS trackpad installed at the helm, is a DTS controlsystem.

34959

DTS yacht controlHELM MOUNTED DTS CONTROLS

• There are many different types of ERC's in the DTS system that control single or dualengine applications. Controls may, or may not, have integrated "START/STOP" buttonsin the base of the control and may, or may not, have trim switches in the control handle.Controls with trim switches incorporated into the handle are for sterndrive installations.Controls without trim switches in the handle are generally for inboard applications.

JOYSTICK• There are advanced versions of the DTS system available on certain dual engine

vessels; Axius utilizes sterndrives for propulsion, and Zeus utilizes an innovative poddrive propulsion that is mounted perpendicular to the bottom of the hull. These typesof propulsion systems use the SmartCraft ERC and a joystick. The joystick is usedprimarily for docking maneuvers. An optional helm mounted Precision Pilot or Axiustrackpad can be incorporated for auto pilot features; "AUTO HEADING", "WAYPOINTSEQUENCE", or "SKYHOOK", all based on a GPS signal that is interfaced with theCAN system.

E‑Stop (Emergency Stop) Switch, if EquippedAn E‑stop (emergency stop) switch turns off the engines in an emergency situation, suchas a person overboard or a tangled propeller. When activated, an E‑stop switch interruptsthe power supply to the engine and transmission. If the boat is equipped with an E‑stopswitch at the helm, the E‑stop switch turns off all of the engines. The E‑stop switch on avessel interface panel (VIP) turns off the engine that is connected to the VIP.NOTE: Some models of the vessel interface panel are not equipped with an E‑stop switch.

Activation of an E‑stop switch stops the engine, or engines, immediately, but the boat cancontinue to coast for some distance depending upon the velocity and degree of any turnat shutdown. While the boat is coasting, it can cause injury to anyone in the boat's path.We recommend instructing other occupants on proper starting and operating proceduresshould they need to operate the engine in an emergency.Accidental or unintended activation of the switch during normal operation is also possible,which can cause any, or all, of the following potentially hazardous situations:• Occupants can be thrown forward due to unexpected loss of forward motion, and

passengers in the front of the boat could be ejected over the bow and possibly struckby the propulsion or steering components.

• The operator can lose power and directional control in heavy seas, strong current, orhigh winds.

• The operator can lose control when docking.Restarting an engine using the key switch or start button after an E‑stop shutdown withoutfirst turning the key switch to the "OFF" position for at least 30 seconds will restart theengine, but cause fault codes to be set. Unless you are in a potentially hazardous situation,turn the key switch off and wait at least 30 seconds before restarting the engine or engines.If, after restarting, some fault codes are still being displayed, contact your authorizedCummins MerCruiser diesel repair facility.


CMD-4996459 / 90-879194386 MAY 2008 Page 7

Lanyard Stop SwitchThe purpose of a lanyard stop switch is to turn off the engine when the operator movesoutside the operator's position (as in accidental ejection from the operator's position).

a - Stop switchb - Lanyard

c - Clips to the operator

Accidental ejections, such as falling overboard, are more likely to occur in:• low‑sided sport boats• bass boats• high performance boatsAccidental ejections can also occur from:• poor operating practices• sitting on the seat or gunwale at planing speeds• standing at planing speeds• operating at planing speeds in shallow or obstacle infested waters• releasing your grip on the steering wheel that is pulling in one direction• consuming alcohol or drugs• high speed boating maneuversThe lanyard is a cord usually between 122 and 152 cm (4 and 5 ft) in length when stretchedout, with an element on one end made to be inserted into the switch and a snap on theother end for attaching to the operator. The lanyard is coiled to make its at‑rest conditionas short as possible to minimize the likelihood of lanyard entanglement with nearby objects.Its stretched‑out length is made to minimize the likelihood of accidental activation shouldthe operator choose to move around in an area close to the normal operator's position. Ifit is desired to have a shorter lanyard, wrap the lanyard around the operator's wrist or leg,or tie a knot in the lanyard.Activation of the lanyard stop switch will stop the engine immediately, but the boat willcontinue to coast for some distance depending upon the velocity and degree of any turnat shut down. However, the boat will not complete a full circle. While the boat is coasting,it can cause injury to anyone in the boat's path as seriously as the boat would when underpower.We strongly recommend that other occupants be instructed on proper starting andoperating procedures should they be required to operate the engine in an emergency (e.g.if the operator is accidentally ejected).

! WARNINGIf the operator falls out of the boat, stop the engine immediately to reduce the possibilityof serious injury or death from being struck by the boat. Always properly connect theoperator to the stop switch using a lanyard.


Page 8 CMD-4996459 / 90-879194386 MAY 2008

Accidental or unintended activation of the switch during normal operation is also apossibility. This could cause any, or all, of the following potentially hazardous situations:• Occupants could be thrown forward due to unexpected loss of forward motion, a

particular concern for passengers in the front of the boat who could be ejected over thebow and possibly struck by the propulsion or steering components.

• Loss of power and directional control in heavy seas, strong current or high winds.• Loss of control when docking.

! WARNINGAvoid serious injury or death from deceleration forces resulting from accidental orunintended stop switch activation. The boat operator should never leave the operator'sstation without first disconnecting the stop switch lanyard from the operator.

The SmartCraft instrument package also aids in identifying the fault codes associated withthe sounding of the engine audio warning system. The SmartCraft instrument packagedisplays critical engine alarm data and other potential problem areas on its LCD display.Refer to the manual provided with your gauge package for basic operation information onthe SmartCraft instrument package and for details on the warning functions monitored bythe system.

Electronic Helm Steering (if Equipped)The electronic helm steering operates through electronic signals. A computer‑controlledelectric motor simulates the resistance feedback found in hydraulic steering systems.We recommend that you drive carefully until you have a chance to explore the system'shandling characteristics and the boat's responses in an open area clear of obstructionsand vessel traffic. The initial lock‑to‑lock steering setting is calibrated by the boatmanufacturer. Contact the boat dealer to adjust the steering response, if desired.

Throttle Only OperationThere are two methods of engaging the throttle only operation mode. Throttle only allowsthe operator to control the engine throttle without shifting into gear. This feature is usefulto warm‑up the engine. The first method can be engaged when the engine is running. Thesecond method can only be engaged prior to starting the engine and is considered a neutralsafety feature.

Throttle Only1. To activate the throttle only mode:

a. Move the control handle to the idle/neutral position.


Page 10 CMD-4996459 / 90-879194386 MAY 2008

b. Press the "THROTTLE ONLY" button and advance the control handle ahead tothe forward detent. The horn will sound once and the neutral light will start flashing.The horn will sound twice when throttle only is engaged.

b. Allow the engine RPM to stabilize at idle before shifting into gear.

Neutral Safety Throttle OnlyThe engines will start if the control levers are not in neutral. This forces the control of theengine RPM to idle only and the RPM cannot be increased. If the engine stalls or is turnedoff by the "START/STOP" button, the key switch must be turned "OFF" and "ON" beforethe engine will start again with the control lever not in the neutral position.1. To activate the neutral safety throttle only mode:

a. Advance the control handle into the forward detent position.b. Start the engine.

2. To disengage the neutral safety throttle only mode:a. Place the control handle into the neutral position.b. Allow the engine RPM to stabilize at idle before shifting into gear.

Starting and Stopping Diesel EnginesA CMD power package is equipped with "SMART START". All CMD models use a remotemounted vessel integration panel (VIP), generally located in the engine room. With theexception to the QSD engines, the VIP can also be used to start and stop the engine foremergency situations. QSD engines use an E‑stop switch at the helm only. Refer toSection 2 for additional information on the E‑stop switch used for emergency stopping ofthe engines.Normal circumstances allows the starting and stopping of the engine from the helm usingthe "START/STOP" buttons. Rather than holding the start button or key switch to start theengine and then releasing it when the engine starts, "SMART START" completely controlsthe starting process. When the start button is pushed, the SmartCraft system signals amodule to start the engine. If the engine does not start, the starting process times out aftera few seconds. Attempting to start the engine with the engine already running will turn theengine off.

Normal Starting1. Perform the transmission, or drive, and engine checks that are required for engine start

ups. Refer to the appropriate operations manual for your power packages.2. Open the seawater return seacock, if equipped.3. Open the seacock for the engine seawater inlet.4. Open the seacock for any accessory equipment, if equipped.5. Move the ERC handles to the neutral position.NOTE: When the key switch is turned to the "ON" position, the neutral LED lights on theERC trackpad flash on and off if the ERC handles are not in the neutral position. Theindicator lights will be on continuously when the ERC handles are in the neutral position.NOTE: For starting a cold engine, place the ERC control handles into gear and advancethe handle slightly. After the engine is started, move the control handle into the neutralposition.6. Turn the key switch to the "ON" position for each engine.NOTE: Large vessels may not have the key switch at the helm. The key switch may belocated in other areas of the vessel, most likely near or in the breaker panel.7. Verify it is safe to start the engines.8. Corresponding to the engine you want to start, do one of the following:

• Press and release the "START/STOP" switch, if equipped.• Turn the key switch to the "START" position.

NOTE: Idle position is preferred when doing a helm transfer. If conditions do not allow theremote control to be placed at idle position, a helm transfer can be done while in gear.NOTE: The active light on the remote control will be illuminated at the helm that is in controlof the engine.The helm transfer function allows the boat operator to select which helm is in control ofengine operation. Pressing the throttle only/station select button two times allows enginecontrol to be transferred to a new helm. When a helm transfer is initiated, the control willautomatically start adjusting engine RPM and gear position to match the control handlesetting at the new helm. Adjust the control handles to the desired throttle and gear position.NOTE: There is a 10 second time frame to complete a helm transfer. If the helm transferis not completed, the action will be cancelled and a double beep will sound. Pressing thethrottle only/station select button again will reinitiate a helm transfer.1. Place the active remote control lever to idle position.2. Proceed to the inactive helm and position remote control lever to the idle position.

Pressing the throttle only/station select button one time allows the boat operator 10seconds to match up the control handle setting at the new station with the handle settingthat is at the old (to be inactive) station. If the handle is not matched, the neutral light willflash. The light blinks faster as the handle is nearing match position. Once the light stayson continuously, the handle is matched and the throttle only/station select button can bepressed again to complete the transfer. This completes the transfer process, and givescontrol to the new station. If the helm transfer is not completed within 10 seconds, the helmtransfer is cancelled.

4. Troll button ‑ "TROLL" has two specific functions and the functionality is dependenton the type of drive that is installed on the vessel.• When the drive is equipped with the troll function, the mode allows the vessel to

be operated at very low speeds by controlling the transmission. The transmissionis capable of reducing the propeller speed lower than the engine speed. The leversare adjusted so that trolling occurs within the first 25% of lever travel. From 26%to 100% lever travel, the engine is commanded between idle speed and maximumrated engine speed. This feature should not be used for docking maneuvers. Toturn the troll control off, press the "TROLL" button, move the throttle to a differentspeed, or shift the engine into neutral.

• When the drive is not equipped with the troll function, the reduced idle speed RPMwill work with all CMD engines, with exception to the QSD product. This featurecan be used to reduce a vessel's speed for a slow, no wake situation. This featureshould not be used for docking maneuvers. To turn the troll control off, press the"TROLL" button, move the throttle to a different speed, or shift the engine intoneutral.

5. Transfer button ‑ Pressing the "TRANSFER" button allows engine operation to betransferred from a different helm. Refer to Helm Transfer.

6. Dock button ‑ Pressing the "DOCK" button initiates docking mode. Docking modereduces throttle capacity to approximately 50% of normal throttle. To turn off thedocking mode, shift the engine into neutral and press the "DOCK" button.

7. Throttle only button ‑ There are two methods of engaging the throttle only operationmode. Throttle only allows the operator to control the engine throttle without shiftinginto gear. This feature is useful to warm‑up the engine. The first method can be engagedwhen the engine is running. The second method can only be engaged prior to startingthe engine and is considered a neutral safety feature.a. To activate the throttle only mode:

• Move the control handle to the idle/neutral position.• Press the "THROTTLE ONLY" button and advance the control handle ahead

to the forward detent. The horn will sound once and the neutral light will startflashing. The horn will sound twice when throttle only is engaged.

• Advance the control handle to increase the engine RPM.b. To disengage the throttle only mode:

• Move the control handle into the idle/neutral position and press the"THROTTLE ONLY" button.

IMPORTANT: Moving the control handle into the idle/neutral position will not deactivatethe throttle only mode. The "THROTTLE ONLY" button on the DTS trackpad must bepressed to deactivate the throttle only mode and allow the engine to shift into gear.

• Allow the engine RPM to stabilize at idle before shifting into gear.a. To activate the neutral safety throttle only mode:

• Advance the control handle into the forward detent position.• Start the engine.

b. To disengage the neutral safety throttle only mode:• Place the control handle into the neutral position.• Allow the engine RPM to stabilize at idle before shifting into gear.

Maneuvering with the Joystick (if Equipped)! WARNING

A spinning propeller, a moving boat, or any solid device attached to the boat can causeserious injury or death to swimmers. Stop the engine immediately whenever anyone inthe water is near your boat.

The joystick provides an intuitive driver interface to maneuver the vessel. Operating thevessel with the joystick is well suited for close quarter operations and when docking. Thecomputer control system automatically calculates the steering angle of each drive, thethrottle level, and the proper gear to push or rotate the boat in a direction correspondingto a joystick movement or twist. For example, if you move the joystick sideways, thecomputer control system applies a thrust to the boat in the sideways direction. Rotating thejoystick prompts the computer to create forces that rotate the boat around its center. Youcan move and rotate the joystick at the same time, allowing intricate movements in tightquarters.The joystick is proportional, which means that the greater distance from the center that thejoystick is moved, the more thrust that is applied to the boat in that direction, to move theboat.The computer control system automatically attempts to dampen bow swinging duringjoystick operation. If the joystick is not twisted, the computer measures the yaw rate of theboat and actively counteracts the yaw motion of the boat.For joystick movement of the boat:1. Both engines must be running for the joystick to operate.2. For best control with sterndrive Axius systems, trim both drives to the full down position.

For inboard or Zeus systems, trim both trim tabs to the full up position.3. Move both electronic remote control (ERC) levers to the neutral position.4. Move the joystick in the direction that you want the boat to move, or twist the joystick

in the direction that you want the boat to rotate. The joystick can be moved and rotatedat the same time.

Joystick ManeuveringThe following table gives some limited examples of the basic responses to inputs from thejoystick.

Skyhook (if Equipped)Your vessel may be equipped with a station keeping feature called Skyhook. Skyhookautomatically maintains the heading and position of the boat within about 3 meters (10 feet)of a set position. Skyhook uses GPS and compass heading information to automaticallycontrol shift, throttle, and steering to keep the boat in approximately one position.Skyhook features can hold your boat nearly stationary, for example, while you wait for aspace at the fuel dock, or while waiting for a bridge to open. Skyhook can also be used tomaintain your boat's position when the water is too deep for an anchor.To unlock and be able to use this feature you will have to contact your authorized CumminsMerCruiser diesel repair facility.Skyhook should not be used when the boat is next to a dock, or any other object, includingother anchored boats. Because Skyhook holds the boat in an approximate position, not aprecise one, it can cause your boat to collide with objects close to the boat causing damageto the boat and the nearby objects. Occasionally the Skyhook system may apply a briefsurge in power while holding a position. This may cause a person to lose their balance andfall.


Page 38 CMD-4996459 / 90-879194386 MAY 2008

! WARNINGA rotating propeller, a moving boat, or a device attached to a moving boat can causeserious injury to people in the water. When Skyhook is engaged, the propellers rotateand the boat moves to maintain the position of the boat. Stop the engines immediatelywhenever anyone is in the water near the boat.

To engage Skyhook, the drives must be shifted into neutral. However, after engagingSkyhook the drive response is not the same as with drives normally shifted into neutral.The propellers will turn when Skyhook is activated, and propeller rotation may not beobvious. When the engines are running, it is important to ensure there are no people in thewater near the boat and to make sure the passengers are secure. Compliance with thispractice is more important when Skyhook is engaged.Before engaging (activating) Skyhook, the operator must:• Inform the passengers how Skyhook operates, to stay out of the water and off the swim

platform, and to be alert for any sudden shifts in the boat's position.• Check to see there are no people on the swim platform, or in the water near the boat.When Skyhook is engaged, the operator must:• Remain at the helm and maintain a vigilant watch.• Disengage (deactivate) Skyhook if anyone enters the water or approaches the boat

from the water.The capability of most vessels limits the ability of Skyhook to counteract currents of up to2 knots (2.3 MPH) when the boat is sideways to the current. If you notice your boat driftingsideways while Skyhook is engaged, move the bow or stern more directly into the currentto help reduce the effects of the current.

! WARNINGWhen the Skyhook is engaged, the boat stays in a preset position; however, Skyhookcan disengage unexpectedly. When Skyhook disengages, the boat does not hold thepreset position and may drift, causing the potential of damage or personal injury. Thehelm operator must be able to take control of the boat when using Skyhook.

Skyhook relies on an operational GPS receiver and operational heading sensor.Occasionally, due to imperfect satellite communications, the GPS signal may betemporarily unavailable. Skyhook continues to operate through a GPS signal outage forup to 10 seconds, and will automatically disengage if the GPS signal outage persists. IfSkyhook disengages, you are alerted by the sound of a horn and the Precision Pilot keypadindicator light on the "SKYHOOK" button turns off. If Skyhook disengages, the boat will driftwith the wind or current because the drive units are now in neutral.Skyhook performance is largely dictated by the performance of the onboard GPS system.The GPS system is accurate within 3 meters (10 feet) when receiving a wide areaaugmentation system (WAAS) correction. WAAS is a system of satellites and groundstations that provide GPS signal corrections, allowing for more accurate positioning of yourGPS. When WAAS is not available, the performance of the system maintains the boatwithin 20 meters (60 feet) of the desired position.

THE SKYHOOK SCREEN IN VESSELVIEWIn Skyhook mode, VesselView displays a special Skyhook screen. The elements of theSkyhook screen are:• RPM of the engines.• The rotation angle of the boat icon shows the yaw of the boat relative to its position

when Skyhook was first engaged.• The horizontal and vertical displacement of the vessel from the crosshairs is

proportional to the position error reported by the GPS.• Each gradation of color in the circular target on the VesselView screen is equivalent to

5 meters of error. If the boat exceeds 20 meters of error, then the boat is located at theedge of the circle. The boat continues to try to correct until Skyhook is disengaged.

Port Engine Only OperationThe force feedback feature of the steering wheel is only available when the starboard keyswitch is in the on position. If the starboard key switch is off or there has been damage tothe starboard electrical system, the port control system monitors the steering wheel.If only the port side is operational, or only the port key switch is in the on position, the forcefeedback system will not provide end stops for the steering wheel. In this case, the drivewill turn in the direction of steering wheel rotation until the mechanical limits of the driveare reached.NOTE: If the port electrical system is damaged, the steering wheel will operate normallywith complete force feedback and end stops.Note that joystick is not available in single‑engine operation. However, Axius featuresredundant trackpad systems, so auto heading mode is still available during single engineoperation.

Vessel Interface Panel (VIP) QSB, QSC, QSL, QSM Engines OnlyE‑Stop (Emergency Stop) Switch, if Equipped

An E‑stop (emergency stop) switch turns off the engines in an emergency situation, suchas a person overboard or a tangled propeller. When activated, an E‑stop switch interruptsthe power supply to the engine and transmission. If the boat is equipped with an E‑stopswitch at the helm, the E‑stop switch turns off all of the engines. The E‑stop switch on avessel interface panel (VIP) turns off only the engine connected to the VIP.

Activation of an E‑stop switch stops the engine, or engines, immediately, but the boat cancontinue to coast for some distance depending upon the velocity and degree of any turnat shutdown. While the boat is coasting, it can cause injury to anyone in the boat's path asseriously as the boat would when under power.We recommend instructing other occupants on proper starting and operating proceduresshould they need to operate the engine in an emergency.Accidental or unintended activation of the switch during normal operation is also possible,which can cause any, or all, of the following potentially hazardous situations:• Occupants can be thrown forward due to unexpected loss of forward motion, and

passengers in the front of the boat could be ejected over the bow and possibly struckby the propulsion or steering components.

• The operator can lose power and directional control in heavy seas, strong current, orhigh winds.

• The operator can lose control when docking.Restarting an engine using the key switch or start button after an E‑stop shutdown withoutfirst turning the key switch to the "OFF" position for at least 30 seconds will restart theengine, but cause fault codes to be set. Unless you are in a potentially hazardous situation,turn the key switch off and wait at least 30 seconds before restarting the engine or engines.After restarting, if some fault codes are still being displayed, contact your authorizedCummins MerCruiser diesel repair facility.

Electrical System Overload ProtectionIf an electrical overload occurs, a fuse or a circuit breaker opens. Find and correct the causefor the electrical overload before replacing the fuse or resetting the circuit breaker.


CMD-4996459 / 90-879194386 MAY 2008 Page 61

NOTE: In an emergency, when you must operate the engine and cannot locate or correctthe cause for the high current draw, turn off or disconnect all the accessories connectedto the engine and instrumentation wiring. Reset the circuit breaker. If the breaker remainsopen, the electrical overload has not been eliminated. Contact your authorized CumminsMerCruiser diesel repair facility to check the electrical system.Circuit breakers and fuses provide protection for the electrical system as indicated. Thecircuit breakers are located in various locations throughout the boat. Have your dealer showyou the location and identify the circuit that they protect.After finding and correcting the cause of the overload, reset the circuit breaker by pressingthe reset button.

VESSEL INTERFACE PANEL (VIP) OVERLOAD PROTECTIONThe vessel interface panel (VIP) contains six circuit breakers that help protect thetransmission harness, engine harness, vessel sensor harness, and helm harness.

Vessel Interface Panel (VIP) QSD Engine OnlyElectrical System Overload Protection

If an electrical overload occurs, a fuse or a circuit breaker opens. Find and correct the causefor the electrical overload before replacing the fuse or resetting the circuit breaker.NOTE: In an emergency, when you must operate the engine and cannot locate or correctthe cause for the high current draw, turn off or disconnect all the accessories connectedto the engine and instrumentation wiring. Reset the circuit breaker. If the breaker remainsopen, the electrical overload has not been eliminated. Contact your authorized CumminsMerCruiser diesel repair facility to check the electrical system.Circuit breakers and fuses provide protection for the electrical system as indicated. Thecircuit breakers are located in various locations throughout the boat. Have your dealer showyou the location and identify the circuit that they protect.After finding and correcting the cause of the overload, reset the circuit breaker by pressingthe reset button.

Shift Override—Emergency ProcedureIf a transmission or electrical system is damaged or has a fault when a transmission doesnot respond to the helm commands, it is possible to engage a gear manually. In anemergency, manually shift a transmission into gear by using a suitable wrench to actuatethe appropriate gear shifting solenoid.Note the following:• It is better to use one drive that works properly, rather than locking and operating the

drive that is not functioning properly. This procedure is used when both drives are notresponding to helm control commands.

• "AUTO HEADING" and "TRACK WAYPOINT" will work when emergency gearengagement is in use.

• Moving the ERC handle into reverse stops the engine.

! CAUTIONLocking the transmission in gear using the emergency procedure renders the helm’sshifting control inoperable. Drive carefully with the gear lock engaged. To shift out of gear,turn the key switch to "OFF."

1. Determine which transmission that is not engaging a gear.2. Stop the engines and remove the key from the key switch.

! WARNINGEngine components and fluids are hot and can cause serious injury or death. Allow theengine to cool before removing any components or opening any fluid hoses.

3. Remove the drive cover of the affected transmission.4. Locate the forward gear solenoid on the port side of the affected transmission (the wire

is tagged "Forward Gear").NOTE: Do not disturb the reverse gear solenoid on the starboard side of the transmission(the wire is tagged "Reverse Gear").5. Use a 3 mm hex head wrench and turn the forward gear solenoid screw clockwise until

it stops.6. The transmission is now manually engaged into gear and will not respond to the helm

controls for shifting in and out of that gear.

! WARNINGA spinning propeller, a moving boat, or any solid device attached to the boat can causeserious injury or death to swimmers. Stop the engine immediately whenever anyone inthe water is near your boat.

7. Ensure the area around the propeller is clear before starting the engine since thepropeller will be turning whenever the engine is operating.

8. Position the ERC lever in neutral gear before turning the key switch to the start position.NOTE: Due to the extra load of turning the drive gears and propeller, the starter may turnslower when starting the engine connected to the drive in the emergency setting.9. Use extra care and caution when operating the boat in the emergency mode. With the

drive gear manually engaged, the engine must be turned off to stop the propeller fromturning or providing thrust.

NOTE: When the transmission is in the emergency mode, shifting the ERC into reversewill stop the engine.10. Immediately take your boat to an authorized Cummins MerCruiser diesel repair facility

and inform them that the drive gear has been manually engaged.

Sterndrive Shift Override ProcedureThe shift actuator can be disengaged allowing the engine to be manually shifted into neutralfor starting and into forward gear position.The shift actuator can be disengaged as follows:1. Turn ignition switch to the "OFF" position.2. Unplug the shift actuator wiring harness connector.3. Move the shift lever into the neutral position. The shift actuator is in the neutral position

when the shift arm is straight up and the shift interrupt switch is fully engaged.4. With engine in neutral, start the engine.5. Position the remote control into the neutral position (idle speed).6. With the engine running at idle speed, the engine can be shifted into gear and out of

gear by manually moving the shift lever.

Check VesselView FirstYour VesselView display is the primary information source for the various functions of yourboat. Consult the VesselView display if you suspect something is wrong. VesselViewdisplays faults and other information that can be helpful in determining the current statusof various systems that could be causing your concern and the solution to the problem.

SmartCraft Circuits Overload ProtectionAll SmartCraft control area network circuits are overload protected with fuses. Some powerpackage applications are also protected with circuit breakers. These fuses and circuitbreakers can be in different locations on the vessel. It is important to become familiar withall the fuse and circuit breaker locations. Always carry spare fuses and never replace ablown fuse with a fuse that has a higher amperage rating. Failure to follow this basic rulemay damage wires resulting in high repair costs. Refer to the power package Owner'sManual and the vessel Owner's Manual for the location and amperage rating of the fusesand circuit breakers.

Engine Will Not StartSymptom Remedy

The engine will not start and various fault codes appearon the VesselView screen. Verify the E‑stop switch is not engaged.

Diagnosing DTS ProblemsYour authorized Mercury MerCruiser dealer has the proper service tools for diagnosingproblems on digital throttle and shift (DTS) systems. The engine control module (ECM)/propulsion control module (PCM) has the ability to detect some problems with the systemwhen they occur, and store a trouble code in the ECM/PCM's memory. This code can beread by a service technician using a special diagnostic tool.

Diagnosing the Junction BoxStandard Junction Box

A standard junction box works as a breakout point for additional SmartCraft componentsto connect to the multi‑ignition input from the smart junction box. The standard junction boxserves as the connection point for the tab smart multiplex module, inertial measurementunit, global position sensor, Precision Pilot, and DTS trackpad to a smart junction box.

Smart Junction BoxThe smart junction box and the standard junction box, coordinate signals from variousinputs to the respective electronic controls. The smart junction box has a total of tendesignated inputs and outputs with several light emitting diodes (LED). Each connectionis clearly marked on the smart junction box. There are two distinct types of smart junctionboxes; a yellow smart junction box and a black smart junction box. The black smart junctionbox is used for a single helm application and a dual helm application. The yellow smartjunction box is only used at the main helm on a dual helm application. The smart junctionboxes are generally mounted in close proximity to the helm location.Smart junction box key features:
