Throttle and speed

DANGER!
A rotating propeller can cause serious injury or death.

  • Turn off the pod when near someone in the water and ensure that the propeller is not rotating.
  • The pod runs quietly, always double-check that the propeller LED is off.

The throttle controls the the pod motor, the propulsion unit. The throttle has a stepless speedchange mechanism and three notches: neutral, idle forward (up), and idle backward (down). The C-8 is optimized for 22 knots in foiling mode. When not in foiling mode, the total propulsion power, and in some cases the steering ability, are limited. The limited pod speed LED on the throttle, indicates limited propulsion power. The propeller LED on the throttle, indicates if the pod is turned on or off.

Turning off the POD

  1. Press the Pod stop button in the throttle.
  2. Check that the Propeller LED on the throttle is off.
