A SURVIVAL CRAFT
A survival craft for maritime evacuation of passengers and crew members from a vessel or an offshore facility is disclosed. The survival craft has a hull, predominantly made of non-rigid inflatable tubes and one or more shells, the hull has a length, a width and a centerline, a bow and a stern. The survival craft further comprises a first pair of engine-powered propulsion means arranged at the stern on opposite sides of the centerline, and a second pair of engine-powered propulsion means arranged at the bow on opposite sides of the centerline, each engine-powered propulsion means has a propeller or a water jet, wherein a horizontal angle of each propeller or water jet of each engine-powered propulsion means can be independently set in relation to the centerline.
Small craft and small craft trailing system
A small craft includes a craft body, a propulsion device configured to propel the craft body, a position acquisition portion configured to acquire positional information about a trailer on which the craft body is loadable, and a controller configured to control the propulsion device on the basis of the positional information about the trailer acquired by the position acquisition portion during an operation for releasing the craft body from the trailer and/or an operation for attaching the craft body to the trailer.
Boat
A boat includes an engine, an input that receives an input operation performed by an operator, and a controller connected to the input. The controller is powered off when the input does not receive the input operation within a first length of time after the engine is stopped. The controller is not powered off when the input receives the input operation within the first length of time after the engine is stopped.
MARINE PROPULSION DEVICE AND MARINE VESSEL
A marine propulsion device includes a controller configured or programmed to perform a control to suppress an engine rotation speed. The controller is configured or programmed to perform an initial misfire control to determine whether or not a cylinder of the engine is caused to misfire in order to suppress the engine rotation speed when it is determined that an initial sudden increase in the engine rotation speed that causes over-revving has occurred based on a detection result from a rev-up detector, and perform a subsequent misfire control to determine whether or not the cylinder is caused to misfire in order to suppress the engine rotation speed when it is determined that a subsequent sudden increase in the engine rotation speed that causes the over-revving has occurred following the initial sudden increase in the engine rotation speed based on the detection result from the rev-up detector.
MARINE THRUSTER CONTROL POWER BOX ASSEMBLY
A thruster power control box assembly includes a housing having a cover. Inside the housing is a switch circuit and a switch control circuit. The switch circuit directs current from an external battery to a pair of thruster cables that are connected to a thruster. The switch control circuit controls the switch circuit by configuring the direction in which current from the battery flows to the thruster cables so that the thruster can operate in both directions. The housing incudes bushings through which the various cables and conductors pass, and are sealed by a compliant plug and a compression nut on each bushing. A terminal box can be used to connect the various cables of the thruster to their corresponding cables of the thruster power control box.
MULTI PURPOSE ELECTRIC HYDROFOIL
A hydrofoil assembly adapted to be attached to a watercraft includes a mast having a mast head adapted to be removably engage with the watercraft and disposed exterior to the watercraft. The hydrofoil assembly also includes a propulsion assembly coupled to the mast and including a propeller and an electric motor for rotating the propeller. The hydrofoil assembly also includes at least one wing coupled to the mas. Moreover, the hydrofoil assembly includes a battery coupled to the mast head and adapted to be arranged exterior to the watercraft.
CONTROL DEVICE AND CONTROL METHOD
A control device for a vessel, the control device comprises: an operation monitoring unit configured to monitor presence or absence of a supply of first electric power supplied from a power supply to an operation display unit for operating the vessel; a drive monitoring unit configured to monitor presence or absence of a supply of second electric power supplied from the power supply to a drive source of the vessel; and a caution control unit configured to cause a caution output device to output a caution based on information indicating the presence or the absence of the supplies of the first electric power and the second electric power that have been respectively acquired from the operation monitoring unit and the drive monitoring unit.
AUTOMATIC MANEUVERING SYSTEM, WATERCRAFT CONTROL DEVICE, WATERCRAFT CONTROL METHOD, AND PROGRAM
A watercraft of an automatic maneuvering system includes an actuator configured to generate a propulsive force and a turning moment, an operation unit, and a watercraft control device.
Mounting arrangement for a propulsion unit
The embodiments herein relate to amounting arrangement (100) for a propulsion unit. The mounting arrangement (100) comprises an attachment arrangement (133) adapted to attach said mounting arrangement (100) to a marine vessel. The mounting arrangement (100) comprises a propulsion unit carrying arrangement (110) adapted to be rigidly connectable to said propulsion unit. The propulsion unit carrying arrangement (110) is pivotably mounted to said attachment arrangement (133). The embodiments further relate to a marine propulsion system (200) comprising a propulsion unit (210) and the mounting arrangement (100). The propulsion unit (210) is rigidly connected to the propulsion unit carrying arrangement (100). An output shaft of the propulsion unit (210) is drivingly connectable to a shaft of a propeller drive (220). The marine propulsion system is pivotably mountable to a marine vessel. Embodiments further relate to a marine vessel (300) comprising a hull (302, 303, 304) and the marine propulsion system (200), the marine propulsion system (200) being pivotably mounted to the hull (302, 303, 304) of the marine vessel (300).
Control and audio systems for a boat
A boat includes a controller that is communicatively coupled to a control screen. The controller has stored therein a plurality of modes corresponding to an activity and includes a plurality of controls corresponding to the activity. The controller is configured to display on the control screen, when one of the modes is activated, the plurality of controls for the activated mode. The activated mode may also be an operating mode that corresponds to an operational condition of the boat. The boat may include a processor that is configured to generate an adjusted audio signal by selecting one or more of a plurality of subranges of frequencies of an audio signal and adjusting the selected subranges to compensate for at least one environmental condition associated with the operational condition of the boat corresponding to the operating mode.
