Dock Mode
Dock mode reduces the RPM throughout the throttle lever range by 50%, allowing finer control of engine power in close‑quarter
situations. If more power is needed for vessel maneuvering when environmental conditions require more thrust, use the
electronic remote control levers.
NOTE: When the joystick is enabled, dock mode reduces available power to 70% of the already reduced power available with
the joystick.
To engage dock mode:
1. Place both ERC levers in neutral.
2. Press the dock button located on the DTS trackpad.
3. The dock light turns on.
4. Place either ERC lever into gear.
NOTE: Engine RPM and available power will be proportionately reduced throughout the throttle lever range.
