On board the CoastGuard cutter I see a little button below the left throttle. What is the purpose of this?

In real life it for keeping the throttles alined.

What do you mean with keeping the throttles aligned?

The Cutter has a Controllable pitch propeller and that is what the the button is for.

If the vessel has a CPP the main engines run on a fixed rpm. The pitch is operated with the trottle levers, where you normally operate the RPM's with :)

No function has been assigned to the rotating knob, but one can think its use would be to lock the controls. The control of the propulsion is simulated by a combinator varying pitch and shaft speed following a fixed curve, in order to represent -and somehow also to get around- the various propulsion modes of the ships
