Re: Twindisc EC150 Controls
I would call Twindisc and ask about the specific model you have and what is required to program them properly or maybe they can tell you what is wrong. http://www.twindisc.com/contact/

Re: Twindisc EC150 Controls
Sgodfrey, I did send you a private message. If you do have the manuals I would love to get a copy.

Re: Twindisc EC150 Controls
If anyone else has EC150 controls, I found out some more information. After digging through all the paperwork that had been left on the boat I found the manuals, install guide, etc. for the system. The EC150 appears to be a transitional time for TwinDisc. The controls themselves are EC100s but the control box they connect to is an EC200 unit. So... if you are looking for adjustment info you would actually need both sets of manuals if you don't have the EC150 documents.
I will post after I get a chance to take the boat out!

Sgodfrey wrote:Touchy is an understatement- the diesel mechanic on our sea trial called them lethal - you can carefully take the control apart and there is an adjustment but that will greatly improve them. There is also a sync procedure that I never tried. We replaced ours with glennding controls - expensive but much better. Russ is private message me I have the manuals
Could you define expensive please. I'm ready to get rid of our EC150
thanks

Re: Twindisc EC150 Controls
I received a quote from Twin Disc for a replacing my EC100 on my 450 Voyager (2 stations) for 15K. My starboard throttle was not giving any feedback for neutral. Twin Disc will not service the system itself. I took the controls apart and fixed it with a spring and a ball bearing. Total cost about 5 bucks. I couldn’t believe the delay from moving the stick until the trans went into gear, about 2 seconds. I’ve gotten more comfortable with it but after reading these posts and finding info online I’m going to try to adjust it this spring.

Re: Twindisc EC150 Controls
Greg, please let me know how adjusting the spring works. I am willing to take mine apart and play with it if it helps you.
Thanks,
Russ
