Cummins QSC 8.3 / 2x600CV + Zeus
At Idle speed the starboard engine runs more than 200 RPM's faster than the port engine.


When I switch to "low idle" the engines balance out at 550 but with wind and/or current I don't have enough power to control the boat and need to use throttle which isn't ideal.

However, at cruising RMP's (with engine sync on) they operate at the same RPM's so they only issue seems to be at idle speed.

Oh, also, the toggle switch that increases/decreases RPM's by 25 isn't working. That may or may not be related. Although, I did notice both issues around the same time.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Port
