摘要:
In a control device for outboard motors (3L, 3R) that controls two outboard motors (3L, 3R) attached to a boat (1), according to an operation by an operating lever (9) that is tiltable in all directions from a neutral state, when the operating lever (9) is moved to a different zone, a steering control means controls shift positions of the two outboard motors (3L, 3R) and a steering specification according to a zone to which the operating lever (9) is moved first, until a determination means determines that the operating lever (9) is in the neutral state, thereby enabling steering easily reflecting the intention of a boat operator and improving a steering efficiency even when an operation of moving from zone to zone is performed.

摘要:
A stop mechanism (23) of a helm device (16) includes a rotation member (80) which can be relatively rotated with respect to a steering shaft (22), rotatable disks (81), fixed disks (82) opposed to the rotatable disks (81), and an electromagnet (83) which presses these disks (81, 82) against one another. An inversion control pin (110) is provided in the steering shaft (22). Slits (120) are formed in a cylindrical portion (80a). Both ends of the inversion control pin (110) are inserted into the slits (120). The slits (120) are shaped to be elongated in a circumferential direction of the cylindrical portion (80a). A first pin receiving stopper wall (121) is formed on one end of the slits (120). A second pin receiving stopper wall (122) is formed on the other end of the slits (120). The inversion control pin (110) can move within the range of inversion allowance angle (θ) between the pin receiving stopper walls (121, 122).
摘要:
A steering apparatus comprises a rotatable steering shaft and a sensor which senses angular movement of the steering shaft. An electromagnetic actuator actuates a stop mechanism to releasable engage the steering shaft. There is a microcontroller which causes the electromagnetic actuator to actuate the stop mechanism to fully engage the steering shaft and prevent rotation of the steering shaft in a first rotational direction, which corresponds to movement towards the hardstop position, while allowing rotational play between the steering shaft and the stop mechanism in a second direction, which corresponds to rotational movement away from the hardstop position, when the sensor senses that the steering shaft has reached a hardstop position. A driver applies a reserve polarity pulse to the electromagnetic actuator when the stop mechanism is fully engaged and the steering shaft is rotated, as permitted by the rotational play, in the second rotational direction.
