POWERFUL PERFORMANCE
TRIM SUPPORT
Trim support operates automatically based on engine or boat speed. Presets can be fine-tuned to adapt to changing conditions.
AUTOMATIC TILT
Automatic tilt offers easy, button-controlled, up-or-down tilt when stored or mooring with just two button presses.
CRUISE CONTROL
Cruise control allows boaters to maintain their preferred cruising speed or RPM for tow sports, while trolling for fish, or even while taking tight turns or boating in rough water.
HIGH THRUST CAPABILITY
High thrust capability provides superior maneuverability and control, aiding in the positioning and stopping of large boats.
HIGH OUTPUT CHARGING FOR MORE USABLE POWER
High charging performance offers large power generation capacity of maximum 70A – exceeding the needs of typical on-board devices.
SAVE YOUR BATTERY WITH AMP+
At idle, when the engine senses a need for additional amperage, AMP+ automatically increases the rpm’s by 100 to produce an additional 12 amps. This helps prevent the draining of critical battery power when using multiple accessories.
