Power steering system for boat

摘要

A power steering system for a boat which is capable of accurately detecting steering torque of a steering wheel, to thereby generate appropriate assistance force corresponding to the steering torque. Rotation of the steering wheel causes pressure to be produced in one of cylinder chambers of a cylinder mechanism, so that steering torque of the steering wheel may be detected depending upon a difference in pressure between cylinder chambers, to thereby permit a drive motor to generate assistance force corresponding to the detected steering torque.
