STEERING AND THRUST CONTROL SYSTEM FOR WATERJET BOATS

摘要

A waterjet-driven boat has a reversing bucket (14) for controlling forward/reverse thrust, a rotatable nozzle for providing sideward forces at the bow. A stick control (20) member with three directions of movement control the reversing bucket (14), nozzle (18), and bow thruster (16), with each direction of movement controlling a different one of the reversing bucket (14), nozzle (18), and bow thruster (16).
