Component Location and
Identification
Vessel operation all starts here with the key switch and stop/start panel.
Every helm must have a start/stop panel for each engine. The key switches
may not be located on the helm but in a remote position. In the event that
the key is located on the main helm, the key switch could be used for the
start/stop function.
The electronic throttles are used for shifting the transmission and controlling
engine speed. Each lever outputs three analog signals which are sent to the
port and starboard CCMs. The CCMs output the throttle shift signal using
CAN X and CAN P. CAN P is the backup CAN for to CAN X.
The vessel Digital Throttle and Shift (DTS) system controls transmission
operation through the engine's drive application harness and a dedicated
19-pin connector on the drive harness. Applications dedicated to DTS are
single lever control, throttle only, dock mode, engine synchronization, helm
transfer, and trolling mode. The DTS communicates on CAN P
The Joy Stick outputs an analog signals which are interpreted by the CCM’s
as a desired thrust angle. The CCM’s in turn outputs a digital signal on CAN
X to control steering.
Trim tab switches out put a signal to the SMM module which interprets
these signal and outputs a signal to the TVM using Can H.
Trim Tab Smart Multiplex Module (SMM)—The Trim Tab Smart Multiplex
Module (SMM) reads the switch settings from the trim tab panel and
converts these inputs to data that can be read by the SmartCraft network.
Tab SMM Harness—The Tab SMM harness connects the Tab SMM to the
trim tab panel and to the standard junction box.
Precision Pilot Track Pad—Using the Precision Pilot track pad, the user is
able to enter waypoints along a desired path and the boat will navigate itself
along this path. Skyhook is another feature of the Precision Pilot track pad.
By enabling Skyhook, the control system uses a set of coordinates
(longitude and latitude) read from the GPS and holds the boat at this
approximate location. The Precision Pilot track pad is also used for heading
control.
The HH pod was built using a low pressure return side hydraulic oil filter,
there was a midterm update to the HH pod which required a high pressure
oil filter be installed in the line from the pump outlet.
The low pressure filter was removed in exchange for the high pressure filter.
Other than adding a high pressure filter, the HH and IH pods look identical.
The most visible change to the HH pod to make it a IH pod was the
relocation of the hydraulic oil filter. The filter was changed from a low
pressure return filter to a high pressure filter located on the pump outlet.
There was need at this time for a software change.
IMPORTANT: The gear lube level in the gear lube monitor will rise and fall
during drive operation. Check the gear lube level when the drive is cool and
the engine is off. High Performance Gear Lube 92-858065Q01
Scheduled Maintenance:
IMPORTANT: The factory filling of the drive gear case and gear lube monitor
utilizes a specially formulated break-in gear lube. Break-in gear lube must be
changed after the first 25 hours, not to exceed 30 hours of operation, to
prevent premature gear wear. The color of break-in gear lube is brown. Drain
the drive and gear lube monitor of the break-in gear lube and fill with the
specified gear lubricant. Refer to Drive Gear Lube.
The Zeus transmission uses two shift solenoids one for reverse and one for
forward travel direction. Each solenoid receives its shift signal from the SIM
module.

For the QSC, additional gear cooling capacity is required, so an on-pod cold
water cooler is used in addition to the vertical tandem cooler. This additional
cooler takes cold(er) water from a fitting on the tube between aftercooler and
heat exchanger (see Figures 9 and 10). The fittings at each end are 19 mm
(3/4 inch) hose barb, and the hose from engine to pod is not provided in the
kit. The customer should source ¾ inch water hose to the preferred length
for his installation. The associated options for QSC pod cooling are HX9140
(contains the correct water crossover tube) and OC9106 (no on-engine
gear cooler).

After the first 25 hours and not to exceed 30 hours of operation ___
Change the transmission oil (fluid) and filter, including the transmission oil in
the drop box, if equipped.
This Cummins MerCruiser Diesel drive is equipped with trim tab mounted
sacrificial anodes and a MerCathode system to help control the effects of
galvanic corrosion. Sacrificial anodes help protect against corrosion by being
more chemically active and more readily corroded than other drive
components. Additional sacrificial anodes may be mounted on the vessel to
provide additional corrosion protection for vessel components.

The Gen 2 Zeus is the last scheduled up date to the Zeus module. Some of
the largest changes will be discussed over the next several slides. These
changes were driven by customer demand, safety, and cost reduction.
Because of some of the changes a different software package is used on the
Gen 2 than is used on the Gen 1 pods.
A check valve has been added to the trim circuit to prevent the tab from
settling. The anode change is to prevent premature anode brakage.
Added pilot operated check valve to trim tab circuit, to prevent tab droop while shut
down.
Description:
Two-piece anodes are for corrosion protection, secondary to the Mercathode
protection
Design Changes:
Use two-piece design to improve retention. Anode material changed from
zinc to aluminum-gallium and have steel threaded hex inserts.
Description:
•Mid section modified to fit new inlet and outlet sea cocks.
•Inlet seacock can be installed in either port or starboard direction (port
direction shown).
•Pad for serial number was moved forward for better access.
Description:
Pod will ship with sealed cover plate - seacock ordering is optional Available
2” (QSB) or 2.5" (QSC) full flow ball valve with elbow Allows port or
starboard orientation
Description:
Replaced 1.5" Blakes sea cock with 1.5" full flow flanged ball valve, to
improve access to handle. Modified mid-plate mounting
Description:
New harness to support Gen 2 hardware - Elimination of unused connectors,
Improved harness robustness, New harness layout, Improved mounting and
retention as well as better harness sheathing for improved aesthetics.
Seacock: Option of orienting the seacock to port, starboard, or don’t pickup water
from pod at all. Seacock is shipped loose and installed after pod is installed (rather
than removing then reinstalling as is currently done)
Backup Pump Power: Backup pump power harnesses no longer needed. Two
fewer harnesses, breakers, and connections at the battery bus.
In this model we see the SMM communicating with the Smart Junction box,
the Smart Junction box communicates with the CCMs. The CCMs each
communicate with their SIM which communicates with its ECM and TVM
•The Tab Smart Multiplex Module, or SMM, receives switch inputs from the Trim
Tab panel and broadcasts them using SmartCraft protocol to the CCMs.
•If the switch inputs indicate that the operator is using the trim manually, it will
simply convert the analog signals into digital signals and send them to the starboard
CCM, which in turn, will command the TVMs to adjust the trim tabs to meet operator
demand
•However, if the Auto Trim switch is active, the SMM will convert the signal to a
message and send it to the starboard CCM, which in turn, will use preprogrammed
strategies to automatically adjust the trim tabs to optimize vessel performance.
The Tab switches signal the SMM, the SMM communicates with the junction
box on CAN H. The Junction box communicates with the Smart Junction
Box, the Smart Junction Box communicates with starboard and port CCM
and the CCM’s communicates with their respective TVM on CAN P.
•The SJB also contains LEDs that indicate network activity and other devices
such as CAN repeaters and termination resistors.
•Each CCM contains the majority of the programming for the control system
The CCM takes operator input signals from the controls, and translates it into
messages for the rest of the Zeus control system. It also contains Precision
Pilot and Auto Trim programming, and interacts with the navigation system
as well The CCM uses the CAN-P, CAN-H and CAN-X networks transmitting
with SmartCraft protocol. It sends throttle input commands to the Engine
Control Module, via the System Integration Module. Some of the more
important inputs to the CCM include -Joystick signals - Engine Start and
Stop signals - Electronic Steering Column signals
•Both the port and starboard engines have their own VIP, and each houses
circuit breakers, an engine diagnostic port, engine START and E-STOP
buttons and the System Integration Module
•The System Integration Module, or SIM, communicates with the ECM via
J1939 for engine control, and controls and monitors transmission related
functions with analog circuits. Additionally, it is used by the SmartStart
system for engine starting and stopping
•The purpose of the ECM is to control engine operation. It uses the SAE
J1939 standard protocol for CAN communication
•The Zeus ECM is unique in that it looks for a digital throttle message rather
than an analog input signal for control of engine RPM.
Engine ECM: the software in the engine ECM controls the engine RPM,
timing, fault codes, fueling, and all engine related functions. INSITE is used
to communicate with the engine ECM.

• The TVM, controls Zeus pod related components such as the steering and
trim tab actuators. It also monitors numerous input pressure, temperature
and position sensors
• Each Zeus pod has its own TVM, and communicates over the networks
using SmartCraft protocol on CANP and CANX.
Termination resistors are required on all CAN networks. These 120 ohm
resistors, one at each end of the bus, are used to put a small load on the
CAN bus to help silence shadow frequencies caused by induction created by
the communication frequencies during normal communications. These
unwanted frequencies if not absorbed would interfere with the normal
communications.
All controls except throttle and shift. CAN P is also the backup network for
CAN X
The throttle levers output three analog signals, these signal are converted to
a digital signal (SmartCraft) by the CCM and communicated to SIM module.
The SIM module takes the SmartCraft signal and converts it to J1939 and
communicates that information to the engine ECM. The engine ECM
communicates on 1939 witch Cummins engine uses on all of their engine
networks.
CAN P
Responsible for feeding messages and information to the Vessel View. It is the back
up network for Can X. CAN P exists from the stern to the helm on starboard and
port side of the vessel.
CAN J
Responsible for feeding the ECM messages, status and codes to the SIM. CAN J
exists between the ECM and the SIM in the VIP box
CAN X
Responsible primarily for Throttle and Shifting. CAN P is its backup
CAN H
Responsible for Helm component communication as well as CCM communication.
CAN H only exists on Axius and Zeus systems.
CAN V
Responsible for the generator on the vessel. This is the generators link to the
SmartCraft system. It exists from the generator and the SJB
Note: SmartCraft 2.2 is not platform dependent, that is, 2.2 will replace 1.0, 2.0, and
2.1 and is used for inboard, stern drive, Zeus and Axius applications. SmartCraft 2.2
will be used for DTS as well as Non DTS.
SC 2.2 can be used for dual engine dual helm applications as well. Vessel View will
also be a requirment.
