Boat maneuvering system with control of propulsion force and direction
A boat maneuvering system has been patented, comprising an operating unit with an operator and a controller that controls the magnitude and direction of the propulsion force generated by a boat's propulsion device in response to the operator's actions. The system includes features such as shifting to different boat maneuvering states based on specific operations performed by the operator, such as hold start, steering, acceleration, deceleration, and automatic boat maneuvering start operations. The controller is programmed to adjust the control index, change the direction of the propulsion force, and perform pattern control based on the operator's actions to enhance boat maneuvering capabilities.
Furthermore, the patented system includes a unique operator interface in the form of a joystick that enables tilting and twisting operations for precise control over the boat's movement. The system allows for seamless transitions between different maneuvering states based on the operator's inputs, ensuring efficient and effective control over the boat's propulsion force. Additionally, the system can be integrated into a boat, enhancing its maneuverability and control capabilities, making it a valuable addition for boat operators looking to improve their maneuvering experience on the water.
