Title:
STEERING-SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR MARINE VESSELS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2023/131689
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Disclosed is a steering-support system for facilitating manual steering of a marine vessel comprising motors and independent manual throttle and shift control units, rudders and manual rudder-steering means mechanically and/or hydraulically connected to the rudders for direct rudder-angle control. The steering-support system comprises electronic rudder-angle reset means connected to at least one automated rudder drive unit, which, when activated, disables use of the manual rudder-steering means and automatically controls the rudder drive unit to steer the rudders from any current off-center position to a mid position at which the rudders are parallel to a longitudinal axis of the vessel and to block the rudders at this mid position, thereby enabling steering of the marine vessel solely by the manual throttle and shift control units in absence of rudder influence on steering.
