Publication number: 20230166823Abstract: A steering system for a marine vessel, the steering system comprises a first steering apparatus having a first steering actuator for steering the first steering apparatus and a second steering apparatus having a second steering actuator for steering the second steering apparatus. There is a mechanical steering linkage operatively connecting the first steering apparatus to the second steering apparatus so the steering apparatuses are steered synchronously. A user input device provides user inputted steering commands. A control apparatus operatively connects to the actuators and to the user input device. The control apparatus controls the steering of the steering apparatuses so both of the steering apparatuses are simultaneously steered the same amount.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2022Publication date: June 1, 2023Inventors: Neal WOOD, Geoffrey David DUDDRIDGE

Patent number: 10315748Abstract: A steering system for a marine vessel comprises a first propulsion unit, a second propulsion unit, and a third propulsion unit. There is a hydraulic actuator for imparting steering motion to the first propulsion unit and a hydraulic actuator for imparting steering motion to the second propulsion unit. A tie bar couples a tiller of the third propulsion unit to the hydraulic actuator of the first propulsion unit. A joystick is used to input user steering commands to the steering system. Movement of the joystick actuates the said hydraulic actuators to impart steering motion to the first propulsion unit and the second propulsion unit. The third propulsion unit is put in neutral when the joystick is used to input user steering commands.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2017Date of Patent: June 11, 2019Assignee: Marine Canada Acquisition Inc.Inventors: Neal Wood, Ray Wong
