Abstract: A machine includes a first device, a second device and at least one controller. The first device includes a first motor located at a first address and associated with first operating characteristic data. The second device includes a second motor located at a second address and associated with second operating characteristic data that is substantially the same as the first operating characteristic data. The at least one controller includes a computing processor and a computer readable storage medium, and is configured to communicate with the first and second devices, and store the first and second operating characteristic data while associating the first and second operating characteristic data with the first and second addresses. The exchange of at least one of the first and second motors causes an exchange of the associated one of the first and second operating characteristic data.

Abstract: A marine power steering system includes a first steering input device and a second steering input device. The first steering input device includes a first steering sensor that provides a first signal indicative of at least one of a torque and an angular position of a first steering wheel. The first steering input device further includes a controller arranged to receive the first signal. The second steering input device includes a second steering sensor that provides a second signal indicative of at least one of a torque and an angular position of a second steering wheel to the controller.

Abstract: An embodiment of a system for controlling a marine vessel includes an electrical power steering unit coupled to a mechanical control system, the mechanical control system including a steering wheel connected by a shaft to a mechanical cable assembly, the mechanical cable assembly configured to be actuated by the steering wheel to control a steering mechanism of the marine vessel. The electrical power steering unit includes an electric motor configured to apply a torque to the mechanical cable assembly. The system also includes a processor configured to control the electrical power steering unit to provide at least one of steering assist and control of the marine vessel.
