Steering Control Arrangement for Boats

Abstract

An arrangement for providing the low-speed steering control of a boat having at least two outboard thruster motors ( 2, 3 ) which are interconnected preferably by means of a tie-rod ( 6 ), wherein the tie-rod ( 6 ) comprises at least one tie-rod part ( 4, 5 ) which can be independently driven forward and backward directions to preferably independently turn the thruster motors ( 2, 3 ) vertically

1 . An arrangement for providing the low-speed steering control of a boat having at least two outboard thruster motors ( 2 ,  3 ) which are interconnected preferably by means of a tie-rod ( 6 ), wherein the tie-rod ( 6 ) comprises at least one tie-rod part ( 4 ,  5 ) which can be independently driven forward and backward directions to preferably independently turn the thruster motors ( 2 ,  3 ) vertically. 
     
     
         2 . An arrangement according to  claim 1 , wherein each thruster motor ( 2 , 3 ) is driven by each respective tie-rod parts ( 4 , 5 ). 
     
     
         3 . An arrangement according to  claim 1 , characterized in that the mechanism driving said tie-rod parts ( 4 ,  5 ) is preferably a hydraulic mechanism comprising a cylinder-piston, or a mechanical mechanism, an electrical mechanism or a magnetic-based mechanism.
