摘要： A steering system for a marine vessel, which includes a helm with a rotatable steering shaft and a sensor that senses angular movement of the steering shaft. An electromagnetic actuator actuates a stop mechanism to releasably engage the steering shaft. A microcontroller processes a steering sensor signal and causes the actuator to actuate the stop mechanism to fully engage the steering shaft when the sensor senses that the steering shaft has reached a hardstop position. This prevents rotation of the steering shaft towards the hardstop position, while allowing rotational play between the steering shaft and the stop mechanism away from the hardstop position. A driver applies a reserve polarity pulse to the electromagnetic actuator when the stop mechanism is fully engaged with the steering shaft and the steering shaft is rotated, as permitted by the rotational play, in the second rotational direction.

摘要： A steering system for a marine vessel comprises a helm, a control head, and a joystick. The helm and control head may respectively provide user inputted steering commands and user inputted shift and throttle commands on a first CAN network. The joystick and the control head may respectively provide user inputted steering commands and user inputted shift and throttle commands on a second CAN network. The helm may provide user inputted steering commands on the first CAN network. The control head may provide user inputted shift and throttle commands on the second CAN network. The joystick may provide user inputted steering commands and user inputted shift and throttle commands on either the first CAN network or the second CAN network.

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.
