System Overview
This dual engine electronic control system consists of the following helm equipment:
• Two Yanmar i5601E Digital Displays (one, if single engine)
• Dual Shift & Throttle Control Head (single shift & throttle control head, if single engine)
Yanmar i5601E Digital Display
The i5601E displays real-time data as well as warnings or alarms for any engine abnormality. Diagnostic codes
will be stored for future reference by a Yanmar technician.
Shift & Throttle Control Head
The Shift & Throttle Control Head selects the gear positions and the throttle settings. The Control Head has
several lights that con rm modes of operation and display warnings, if present. Buttons enable engine RPM
synchronization and shift disconnect as well as setting the brightness of the lights.
Other control con gurations with similar functions may be used.
Helm Components
Although the scope of this document relates to both single and dual engines,
the instructions within depict the more widely used dual engine con guration.
Note: Displays “Single” if
single engine con guration.

Electronic Control System: Operation Manual for 6LY3 Series Engines Page 5
Start Up
Your electronic engine control system was congured at the factory with the default settings needed to initially
start the system.
1. Connect the battery terminals and turn the master battery switches to the “ON” position. Turn the engine
control breaker switches on at the main breaker panel.
Before starting the engines for the rst time, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the shift and throttle
controls and ignition switch. With the engines not running, move the control levers over the full range until you
are familiar with the feel. Note that the detent pressure and drag can be adjusted using the adjusting screw on the
front surface of the control head. The top screw sets the detent pressure; the lower screw sets the drag.
Next, look at the ignition switch panels. The ignition switch may be a “rocker” type or conventional key type
switch. On either type there are three positions: OFF – ON – START. Normal engine shut down is achieved
by moving this switch to the OFF position.
Next to the ignition switch is an EMERGENCY STOP switch. Moving the rocker switch to the off position
(or turning the key to off) WILL result in the engine shutting down.
WARNING
In normal operating mode, the engine is started and stopped with either the key switch, or the OFF-ON-
START rocker switch. When you switch to the OFF position, the engine can take up to about 5 seconds to stop
running, allowing the engine to store certain information and make adjustments for easier restart.
In an emergency situation, you can use the Emergency Stop switch to kill all power to the engine. This will
allow you to stop at once, but will not store data and make adjustments for an easy restart. A DTC (Diagnostic
Trouble Code) will be generated and stored in the system indicating that the Emergency Stop was activated.
You will notice the next time you start, that the engine will crank over for an unusually long time. This is
normal for the engine to regain its memory and functions.
The Emergency Stop should only be used in an emergency.
2. Place the control levers in neutral and turn the PORT ignition switch to the On position -- but do not start the
engine. The green control head light will illuminate.
a. Check to see if the green light on the control head is solid or ashing. If solid, proceed to the next step. If
ashing, push the Select button to select the head. Position the control lever to neutral and the yellow light
will now come on.
b. Start the port engine.
c. Turn on the starboard ignition systems.
d. After a two-second wait, start the starboard engine.
Redundant (Back-up) Throttle
In the unlikely event that the throttle signal is lost between the helm mounted shift/throttle control head and the
engine, the system is designed to revert to the redundant or back-up throttle. First, the engine would reduce rpms
to idle speed, the digital display would show “Throttle Error,” and a small red indicator light would ash at the
key panel (or switch panel). Near the red light is a small potentiometer (looks like a volume control knob). Turn
the knob ALL the way to counter-clockwise in order to take control of the throttle. Then turn the knob SLOWLY
to clockwise - the light will glow solid. You will have control of the throttle, however, you will NOT have shift
control. At this point you must shut the engine off and restart, to return throttle control back to the shift/throttle
control head.

Page 6 Electronic Control System: Operation Manual for 6LY3 Series Engines
Start Up
When powered-up, the i5601E Digital Displays will initially display an introductory screen showing the software
revision level. They will then display one of the following four screens:
These screens show all of the key engine data and can be accessed by pushing a single button. The right-most
button allows the contrast and brightness to be set.

Electronic Control System: Operation Manual for 6LY3 Series Engines Page 7
Pressing any key acknowledges the alarm and immediately switches the display to the Alarms screen. The i5601E
continues to beep until all alarm conditions (engine faults) have cleared. Unacknowledged alarms are shown as
ashing boxes. Press any key to acknowledge alarm boxes that may still be ashing, and they will then change to
a steady highlighted state.
Alarm blocks remain highlighted as long as the alarm condition (engine fault) remains and will automatically
reset to an un-highlighted state after the alarm condition has passed.
Start Up
In the unlikely event that an engine fault occurs, a warning box appears in the
display showing the cause of the fault, and the action to take, "Press Any Key
To Continue."
Engine Diagnostic Code Summary Screen
The i5601E is an extremely versitle display.
The four-left keys can be recongured to allow the user to display whatever screens he or she desires.
For additional operational details, refer to Appenbdix A and the technical manual.

Start Up
Shift & Throttle Control Head Functions
1. With the engine running and the control head(s) in neutral, the green and yellow control head lights should
be illuminated.
2. Press the Neutral button(s) on the control head. The Neutral control head light(s) should ash.
3. Advancing the control lever to the forward detent (that is, the position identied by a “click” feel) puts the
boat in forward idle. Pushing the lever further forward increases the throttle setting. The same is true in the
reverse direction.
Note that the detent pressure and drag can be
adjusted using the adjusting screw on the front
surface of the control head.
The Shift and Throttle Control Head comes with a dual function, single lever control. A single lever control
initiates both shifting and throttle for a single engine.
4. Return the control handle(s) to the neutral position.
5. Press the Neutral control head button(s). The neutral light(s) will stop ashing and remain continuously lit.
Control Head Operation
WARNING
The boat will start to move during the next steps.
Be very cautious when rst engaging the gears to establish that forward is truly forward
and reverse is truly reverse. A quick in-and-out of gear test is recommended.
Ensure that the boat is clear of all obstacles forward and aft before conducting this test.

Electronic Control System: Operation Manual for 6LY3 Series Engines Page 9
Operation
Control Head Button Functions
The Control Head has a series of buttons and lights that add a wide range of functions to the Shift and Throttle
control system:
N: Neutral button. If the associated control head lever is in the ‘Neutral’ position, pushing this button engages/
disengages Shift Disconnect mode. If the associated control head lever is in a ‘Gear Idle’ position, pushing this
button engages/disengages Split Range Throttle.
SELECT: If the station is inactive, pushing this button activates the station. If the station is active, repeatedly
pushing this button cycles through four different indicator lamp intensities.
SYNC: Pushing this button engages / disengages the Cruise Synchronization feature when the port and starboard
control head levers are set within 10% of each other and are above 20% throttle. Note: Sync is not available on
single engine installations.
Detailed Operation of the Shift & Throttle Control Head

Page 10 Electronic Control System: Operation Manual for 6LY3 Series Engines
Control Station Selection
If your boat is outtted with multiple control stations, the Station Select feature allows you to select which station
will be used to control the boat. If your boat only has one control station, then the station will automatically be
selected upon startup when the control head levers are in Neutral. A continuously lit SELECT lamp indicates a
station is active.
STATION SELECTION: CONTROL HEAD IN NEUTRAL / IDLE
Single Station:
When rst turning the key or start switch to the "ON" position the SELECT lamp will illuminate solid green.
Multi-Station:
When rst turning the key or start switch to the "ON" position the SELECT lamp will ash and the NEUTRAL
lamp will illuminate if the control head levers are in the Neutral position. This is an indication that no specic
helm station has been selected for boat operation. By simply pushing the SELECT button at the station desired
for operation the ashing green lamp will turn continuous. This indicates control of the boat is now at this station
location. If you choose to change helm locations, simply push the SELECT button at the desired helm location
provided the control head is in Neutral.
STATION SELECTION: CONTROL HEAD IN GEAR
This system allows you to transfer helm station control while the boat is underway. With the control lever on
Station One in any position other than Neutral, press the SELECT button on Station Two. The green SELECT
light will ash ve times. During that allotted period, move the control lever on Station Two to the same relative
position as Station One. The green SELECT light will become steady, and control has been transferred.
Indicator Dimming Feature
The lamps on the Control Head(s) can be varied in intensity. If the indicator lamps are too bright and you are at
the active control station (green light on), push the SELECT button and the lamps will dim. If the lamps are still
too bright, you can continue pressing the SELECT button to cycle through the lamp intensity choices until you
nd the desired intensity.

Electronic Control System: Operation Manual for 6LY3 Series Engines Page 11
Operation
Shift Disconnect
Shift Disconnect is a Control Head mode that allows you to apply throttle without engaging a gear. This operation
is mostly used when a technician is performing diagnostics on the engine.
To engage Shift Disconnect mode, move the engine’s lever to the ‘Neutral’ position. Then press the N (Neutral)
button next to this lever on the control head. A ashing N (Neutral) lamp indicates that Shift Disconnect mode
is engaged for this engine. While in Shift Disconnect mode you can apply throttle in Forward or Reverse without
actually engaging the gear.
To disengage Shift Disconnect mode, return the engine’s lever to the ‘Neutral’ position and once again press the
N (Neutral) button next to the lever on the control head. The N (Neutral) lamp will stop ashing and remains
continuously lit to indicate that Shift Disconnect mode is disengaged and the transmission(s) will now respond to
lever commands.

Shift Disconnect mode (single control head)

Page 12 Electronic Control System: Operation Manual for 6LY3 Series Engines
Cruise Synchronization
Cruise Synchronization allows you to synchronize your boat’s engines (in multi-engine boats) by matching their
speed and controlling them any time the sync function is active and the control levers are set to nearly the same
position (within 10% of each other) and are above 20% throttle.
Cruise Sync can only be engaged when there is no other engine mode option enabled. Any other engine mode
being used, such as Shift Disconnect or Split Range Throttle, must be disengaged before Cruise Sync can be
engaged. These modes can be used after Cruise Sync has been engaged. Upon exiting Cruise Sync, each engine
will remain in the mode(s) last used while in synchronization.
Operation
To engage Cruise Synchronization, rst disengage any other engine mode being used. Match all engine shift
and throttle settings by moving the active port and starboard control head levers to within 10% of each other and
press the SYNC button on the control head. The SYNC lamp will ash if the levers are not within 10% of each
other. The SYNC lamp will stop ashing and remain continuously lit when the levers are moved to within this
10% range. A steady SYNC lamp conrms that Cruise Sync is engaged.
While the engines are synchronized, all engine speeds are matched any time the control levers are set to within
10% of each other and are above 20% throttle.
To disengage Cruise Synchronization, press the SYNC button on the control head.
Power Train Sync (PTS):
This can be selected in the setup area of the i5601E in place of Cruise Sync.
Automatically synchronizes engines; the port lever controls throttle and shift of both engines across the entire
control range.
A lit red SYNC lamp indicates sync is engaged.
TO ENGAGE PTS:
• Press SYNC button. (Red lamp ashes.)
• Match control handle positions within 10% of each other. (Red lamp goes steady when levers match — power
trains are now in sync.)
TO DISENGAGE PTS:
• Press SYNC button. (Red lamp ashes.)
• Match control handle positions within 10% of each other. (Red lamp goes off when levers match — power
train sync is now disengaged.)
Cruise Synchronization will not engage if the
levers are not within 10% of each other.

Electronic Control System: Operation Manual for 6LY3 Series Engines Page 13
Operation
Split Range Throttle
The Split Range Throttle control head mode gives you greater throttle sensitivity. In Split Range Throttle (SRT),
moving an engine’s control lever all the way to the ‘Full Forward’ position will only produce the maximum
percentage of wide open throttle selected in the “User Settings” of the i5601E program options. The default limit
percentage of SRT is 25%
To engage Split Range Throttle, move the engine’s lever to an in-gear Idle position (Forward Idle or Reverse
Idle) and press the N (Neutral) button next to this lever on the control head. The N (Neutral) lamp will ash to
indicate that Split Range Throttle is engaged.
While in Split Range Throttle, the system will shift normally but the throttle will be limited in both gears.
If the system is shifted into Neutral while in Split Range Throttle engine mode, the N (Neutral) lamp will come
on (steady) to indicate that the system is in Neutral. When the lever is moved back into gear, the N (Neutral)
lamp will resume ashing to indicate that the system is still in Split Range Throttle.
To disengage Split Range Throttle, return the engineʼs lever to a Gear Idle position (Forward Idle or Reverse
Idle) and again press the N (Neutral) button next to the lever on the control head. The N (Neutral) lamp will stop
ashing, indicating that Split Range Throttle has been disengaged..

Page 14 Electronic Control System: Operation Manual for 6LY3 Series Engines
Trolling Mode (Option)
The Trolling mode option allows the boat operator to slow the forward and aft speed of the boat for  shing.
Trolling mode is achieved by the ECU electronically adjusting pressure bypass valves in the gearbox, allowing
the clutches to slip.
When trolling is selected (by pressing the separate trolling switch) and the control lever is moved forward, the
boat will start to move at the slowest speed. As the lever approaches 60% throttle, the boat will be close to its
non-trolling idle speed. Moving the lever further forward will cause the transmission to lock out trolling and
advance the throttle. The factory set defaults will limit throttle to 40%.
The trolling defaults -- as shown in Appendix B -- can be set to a variety of operating modes. Contact your
dealer for details.
How to Enter Trolling Mode:
1) Move the Control Head lever to the Neutral position.
2) Start the engine if necessary. The system must see RPM in order to permit trolling mode to be entered.
3) Press the separate trolling switch. This places the system in trolling mode.
4) When you move the Control Head lever in either the forward or reverse direction, the engine RPM will
remain steady, but the boat should move in the selected direction.
5) To take the boat out of the trolling mode, return the Control Head lever to the Neutral position and press the
Trolling switch.

Maintenance Warning
Based on startup issues, the maintenance timer will activate between 50 and 60 hours of operation. A maintenance
warning will be displayed on the digital display screen. To acknowledge this warning, press and hold the #5 (right
most) button on the i5601E digital display for a few seconds until the main menu is displayed. Use the down
arrow button to move the courser to “User Settings.” Press the right arrow button to enter the “User Setting”
menu. The arrow should be at the “Reset Maint. Time” selection. Press the right arrow key to reset. The warning
will go away. After an additional 250 hours of operation the maintenance warning will be displayed again, and
every 250 hours thereafter. This a reminder that periodic maintenance must be performed at these intervals.

Electronic Control System: Operation Manual for 6LY3 Series Engines Page 17
Diagnostics
The digital display indicates if certain malfunctions occur. The system also stores certain DTC (Diagnostic Trouble
Codes) for reference. These codes will help you or a technician to determine which subsystem has malfunctioned.
Display and record all Trouble Codes so you can relay them to the technician. A listing of possible Diagnostic
Trouble Codes are in Appendix E.
There are also diagnostic lights built into the Electronic Control System to assist in troubleshooting. The shift/
throttle control head will  ash to indicate improper operation (see the section on the control head function).
There is an i8320 or i8325 electronic control module (ECU mounted in the engine room). On the ECU module
are three LED indicator lights which normally  ash to acknowledge proper operation. When the ignition switch
is “ON” and/or the engine is running, the three small LED indicators will  ash at various
rates to indicate ENGINE COMMUNICATION, ECU STATUS, and
COMMUNICATION. THE NMEA communication is the data stream to
the digital display, shift/throttle control head, and other modules. If any of
the three LEDs fail to  ash while the key is in the “ON” position (engine
does not have to be running), there is a communication problem. For
safety reasons, it is best to perform this test while the key is “ON” but the
engine is not running. The LED not  ashing will indicate the part of the
system malfunctioning, and diagnosis should proceed in that subsystem.
Power Reduction Mode
An automatic protection mode called Power Reduction is included in the electronic control system to help protect
the engine from major failure. The Power Reduction mode will be activated if:
A. The coolant temperature reaches or exceeds 110° C (230° F).
B. The boost pressure reaches or exceeds 250 kPa (36 psi).
C. An Engine speed sensors error occurs.
D. The Rack Position sensor is out of range.
E. The fuel injection timer shows an abnormal value.
F. A Throttle Position error occurs.
When the Power Reduction mode is active, the engine speed is limited to 1,800 rpm or less for items A through
E. Item F (Throttle Position error) will result in rpm returning to idle speed. [See “Redundant (Back-up) Throttle”
description on page 5]. If the condition falls back below the threshold or the fault no longer exists, normal power
will resume after engine shut-down and re-start.
On multi-engine boats the following actions occur on Power Reduction.
