A completely fly-by-wire system controls the triple Yamaha F300 outboards, making them incredibly responsive. In addition to Yamaha's CommandLink electronic throttle and shift, Scout incorporated the Optimus steering system as standard on the 350 LXF. Optimus provides adjustable steering response according to speed. Interestingly, you never consciously notice the change. The system also provides more accurate control of the (3) 12-inch display Garmin navigation system and autopilot.
