In which position should the speed selector and direction selector be placed to enable pitching control?

The appropriate setting for enabling pitching control involves placing the speed selector in the neutral position and the direction selector in the stop position. This configuration allows for fine-tuning and adjustments necessary for controlling the pitch without actively driving the vessel in either forward or reverse.

When the speed selector is neutral, it means that the propulsion is not actively engaged, which provides a stable platform for making precise adjustments to the pitch. Likewise, having the direction selector set to stop ensures that there is no unintended movement that could complicate control. This setup is essential for scenarios where quick adjustments and stability are required, such as in maintaining or altering the angle of a vessel’s pitch effectively.
