REVERSING OF WATER CRAFT HAVING STEERABLE DRIVE POWER GENERATORS

摘要

A water craft has a drive power generator, e.g. a propeller screw or a jet rudder, which is pivotable about a substantially vertical axis. In order to control the course of the craft, the pivoting of the drive power generator is controlled by control means comprising a setting device for setting the steering of the craft relative to the main direction of travel (ahead or astern). The control means also includes switching means for selecting the main direction of travel independently of the steering set by the setting device.
