Glendinning Synchronizer question

[brettportzer]

Probably a basic question here, but I don't see it spelled out in the manual:

What happens if either the synchronizer fails or the master engine fails, with the slave engine at full throttle?

So, say you are cruising along at 1200 rpm with the slave throttle at full and the synchronizer tuns off?

The difference in throttle position would be significant and the boat would start to turn as the engine ramped up?

Same idea if the master engine itself cut out?

I understand how it works, from an operators standpoint, but not enough of how it actually works to understand what would happen if something failed, with one throttle lever maxed out!

Engines go to idle.

At least that is what happens when I accidentally turn the synchronizer off when it is properly engaged.

The slave being all the way forward is to allow full operational of throttle by the lead. Also serves as a big visual indication that synch is on. The lever has to be pulled back to engage throttle control.

So to answer the question it is not at full throttle, just looks that way.

Yep, Returns to idle.
