Abstract: This invention relates in general to an electro-mechanical engine control system configured in such a manner as to provide redundant engine controls for marine engines. Microprocessor based, electronic controlled mechanical servos and an electro-mechanical transferring apparatus, facilitates the integration of the electronic control system with mechanical engine controls as they are known to the marine industry of today. This combination of electronic engine controls, integrated with clutch driven servos and mechanical transferring mechanism provides the operator of any marine craft the ease of operation of electronic controls with the security of mechanical backup operation in case of power or system failure.
