3 Remote Controller / Tiller Handle
The Remote Controller/Tiller Handle is used for starting and stopping the
NAVY outboard motor, adjusting the motor speed, configuring the battery
parameters, displaying the system information and messages, etc. The
Remote Controller/Tiller Handle is powered by either solar power or the built-
in lithium battery. Both Remote Controller and Tiller Handle wirelessly
communicates with the outboard control system built in the main outboard
motor. The only functional difference between Remote Controller and Tiller
Handle is the steering method: the Tiller Handle itself owns the steering
capability, while the Remote Controller requires an additional steering wheel
to help steer.

3.2 Charging
Both the Remote Controller and Tiller Handle have a built-in lithium battery for
power supply. The battery will be charged automatically under normal use: get
charged by solar power or wired connection.
3.2.1 Charging by solar power (Recommended)
When the solar panel receives enough sunshine, it will generate electricity to
charge the built-in lithium battery. While charging the battery by solar power,
it’s suggested to face the solar panel of the Remote Controller/Tiller Handle
toward sunlight to get better charging effect. (Figure 5-2 and Figure 5-3).

20
Figure 3-2 Figure 3-3
It’s recommended to charge the Remote Controller/Tiller by solar power.
3.2.2 Charging by wired connection
If the Remote Controller/Tiller can’t get enough solar power for a long time,
the battery level will run out. In this case, a warning message with an error
code E60 (Figure 5-4) will display on the LCD panel to remind you to charge
the Remote Controller/Tiller Handle. Now you can connect the outboard and
the battery by communication cable to charge the Remote Controller/Tiller.
Please follow the below steps to charge the Remote Controller/Tiller Handle
by wired connection.
First, connect the Remote Controller/Tiller Handle to the outboard motor by a
communication cable first (Figure 5-5/Figure 5-6); Then, connect the outboard
motor to the battery. Dual Remote Controller like the Remote Controller.
