摘要： Provided is a display device with which it is possible to indicate whether a direction of movement according to operation by a pilot and the actual direction of movement of a watercraft are in agreement. The display device is provided with a direction-of-movement indicator 133 that shows an indication related to the direction of movement of a watercraft. The direction-of-movement indicator 133 shows the indication in a first mode and a second mode, the first mode being a display mode displaying that there is a disagreement between a specified direction of movement specified by means of a shift switch 123 and the actual direction of movement, the second mode being a display mode displaying that the specified direction of movement and the actual direction of movement are in agreement.

摘要： A vessel operation system includes a propulsion apparatus to generate a forward thrust or a backward thrust by output of an engine, a throttle actuator to change a throttle opening degree of the engine, a first operator, a second operator, and a controller. When the propulsion apparatus generates a backward thrust, the controller sets a first target value within a range not more than a first upper limit value in accordance with an operation of the first operator and control the throttle actuator so that the throttle opening degree reaches the first target value. The controller sets a second target value within a range not more than a second upper limit value larger than the first upper limit value in accordance with an operation of the second operator and control the throttle actuator so that the throttle opening degree reaches the second target value.

摘要： Remote-control units used for docking a marine vessel include both a radio transceiver for communicating with a helm receiver to which control signals for the various vessel systems can be sent, and a WiFi transceiver that can be used to remotely access and adjust the operational profiles stored in the remote control unit. Each of the profiles causes the remote control unit to control one or more vessel systems by ramping up their output over an initial time duration to a maximum profile setting which is a proportion of the maximum output capability of the vessel system.

摘要： A boat control device includes a command lever mounted translatable on the command panel of the boat, in such a way that the command lever performs a travel of a predetermined amplitude, during which the command lever sets the propulsion engines of the boat according to at least two operating conditions, a clutch system being provided configured to identify the transition from one condition to another. The clutch system includes an electromagnetic brake acting on the command lever with a clamping force sufficient to brake the travel of the command lever, the clamping force varying based on the current generated by a power supply unit, the current being generated variably based on the position of the command lever.

摘要： A marine vessel maneuvering system includes a controller configured or programmed to perform a shift-out start control to control a shift actuator to immediately start an intermittent operation mode from a shift-out state when an intermittent operation switching control is performed to switch a normal operation mode in which a shift-in state continues to the intermittent operation mode in which the shift-in state and the shift-out state are repeated in a predetermined period of time based on a user's operation.

摘要： A marine power system may include an engine arranged to provide mechanical output power for a boat, and a controller coupled to the engine, the controller configured to determine an idle condition of the boat, deactivate the engine based, at least in part, on the idle condition, determine a demand for the mechanical output power for the boat, and activate, using an auxiliary power source, the engine based, at least in part, on the demand. The controller may be configured to determine the demand based, at least in part, on a throttle control for the boat. The controller may be configured to determine the demand based, at least in part, on a position of a mechanical component of the throttle control. The controller may be configured to determine the demand based, at least in part, on a sensor on the throttle control.

摘要： A stern drive is for propelling a marine vessel in a body of water. The stern drive has a powerhead, a mounting assembly configured to affix the powerhead to the transom, inside the marine vessel, and a drive assembly coupled to the mounting assembly, the drive assembly being trimmable up and down relative to the mounting assembly, the drive assembly comprising a driveshaft and an output shaft which extends transversely to the driveshaft. The drive assembly has a driveshaft housing for the driveshaft and a gearcase housing for the output shaft, wherein the gearcase housing is steerable relative to the driveshaft housing. A universal joint couples the powerhead to the driveshaft so that operation of the powerhead causes rotation of the driveshaft, which in turn causes rotation of the output shaft.

摘要： A watercraft includes a hull, an engine to generate power to propel the hull, an engine speed sensor to detect the rotation speed of the engine, and an ON/OFF sensor to be turned on and off according to a vertical acceleration of the hull. The watercraft further includes a controller configured or programmed to determine, based on at least one of a detection value of the ON/OFF sensor and a detection value of the engine speed sensor, whether or not a water surface is smooth.

摘要： A marine propulsion system includes an engine effectuating rotation of an output shaft, a battery, an alternator having a rotor driven into rotation by the output shaft and that is configured to generate a charge output to the battery, a battery state of charge sensor configured to measure a battery charge value of the battery, and a control system. This control system is configured to receive a demand value and/or a temperature, receive the battery charge value from the battery state of charge sensor; and control the alternator to adjust the charge output based on at least one of the battery charge value and the demand value and/or temperature.
