A METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DELAYING SHIFT AND THROTTLE COMMANDS BASED ON ENGINE SPEED IN A MARINE VESSEL

摘要

A method for delaying shift and throttle commands based on engine speed comprises establishing a predetermined threshold engine speed. Shift and throttle commands are calculated based on the position of a control lever which allows an operator to manually control shift and throttle functions. Execution of the shift and throttle commands is delayed if the engine speed is above the predetermined maximum threshold engine speed.
