Most likely you occasionally lose control of your boat because you don't know how to handle it under all circumstances and conditions. I'm talking here about close quarters maneuvering as in docking, waiting for bridges in narrow waterways, things like that. So let's start with two important facts: (1) any twin engine boat is capable of very precise control and, (2) all adverse conditions, like wind and tides, can be turned to your advantage. But first, let's make sure that you understand the basic principles of twin engine boat control.

Backing into a slip is the most difficult docking maneuver of all, where it is imperative that you are constantly alert to wind and current. And to be successful, you must use these conditions to your advantage. I don't have to tell you about the Chinese fire drills that go on all weekend long at crowded marinas, and I'm sure you'd like to graduate from these Keystone Kops routines. Everything you've done so far is going to help you become one of those guys standing on the dock with a smug grin.

What I want you to do is practice using the controls -- throttle and shift only -- to control the boat. You know that if you put one engine in forward, and the other in reverse, the boat is going to pivot on its axis. Some boats will pivot precisely on it's axis, others will not. Now, if you increase throttle on one engine, but not the other, something different is going to happen. With the boat standing dead still in the water, put S in forward and P in reverse with both engines at the same speed, say 800 RPM. Just let it stay that way for a minute and take note of how the boat pivots. Is it turning precisely on its axis or not? Now increase the throttle evenly on both to 1200 RPM. Again, take note of how the boat turns, what kind of circle it is making. Play around with throttle speed and see how it behaves at differing engine speeds. The objective here is for you to learn how the boat behaves with these control imputs.

Program card is an optional equipment for boat ESCs, it has 3 digital LEDs to display the programmable items and corresponding parameter values, so the user interface is very intuitive. The SEAKING-30A-V3 ESC uses the throttle cable to connect to LED Program Card, while other SEAKING V3 ESCs use the External Programming Ports to connect LED Program Card.

Possible causes: The ESC and motor wire are not well connected or the ESC / motor is damaged

[D҉ataWraith]

Possible causes: The Low-Voltage Cutoff Protection or the Overheat Protection is activated.

There are 2 methods to exit the programming mode:

The neautral button on the ceter of my morse type control dpresses and stays in when the nutral position is reached the button no longer pops out. I find that tapping it and moving the lever helped but it is getting worse. I removed the handle and worked the button having sprayed it wioth release agent and applied a dry film lubricant spray. I suspect that a spring is no longer providing sufficient force or a burr is preventing it disengainig. Are these easy to open up? is there an exploded view? can I replace it with a new one using the old cables. At the moment I am starting by putting the engine in gear however this can not be good for the starter motor long term.

I have this problem on my morse control as well;I've been told that I can get the button as a spare but cannot remember where I bought the control,somewhere on the Hamble Industrial Estate. I'm going on the boat tomorrow and will check the original paperwork for it that will give the maker and possibly the agent's name too.
My engine starts up ok with the lever in the neutral position whether the button is in or out,neeeding no advance of the throttle and turning the key to glowplug for 5-10 seconds, but I have to pull the button out with a small pair of pliers to engage at the neutral position.
Time I got it sorted too!

One simple solution would be to use the pot with the centre detent (S2) as a trimmer for the throttle range.

[43554]

The screenshots below show S2 mixed to the Throttle at 10% weight and 10% offset. In that scenario, the trim range available with S2 is 80-100% with centre at 90%. The range is easily adjustable in the programming, of course, but you would need to physically adjust your linkages so that the centre trim position (90%) is to your liking. At that setting, I imagine you'd want the sail to be in the same physical position as at 0% throttle in your current setup.

No doubt there are other solutions, some possibly more elegant. Whatever you go with, you may consider an audible callout to alert you to the trim position when desired. The ideas posted here may give you a place to start.
