Patent number: 10703207Abstract: In an outboard motor, a controller controls an electric motor. An output outputs a predetermined notification information in response to a notification command signal output from the controller. When the controller receives a shut-off signal indicating that a semiconductor fuse is off, the controller outputs the notification command signal and causes the output to output notification information. When the controller receives a recovery operation signal indicating a predetermined operation performed by a user from an operator in a state where the semiconductor fuse has turned off, the controller outputs a recovery command signal to the semiconductor fuse.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2018Date of Patent: July 7, 2020Assignee: YAMAHA HATSUDOKI KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Takeshi Naito, Yoshihiro Mizushima, Makoto Mizutani, Noriyoshi Ichikawa, Makoto Ito

Patent number: 7422501Abstract: A throttle valve opening control device for a watercraft engine includes a control section for controlling a valve drive section that drives the throttle valve based upon a signal from a remote controller operating position detecting means. The control section determines whether the operating position is in a trolling range or in a propelling range by the signal from the remote controller operating position detecting means. When the control section determines that the operating position is in the trolling range, the control section adjusts the throttle valve opening by an amount, relative to an operational amount of the remote controller, smaller than when the operating position is in the propelling range.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2005Date of Patent: September 9, 2008Assignee: Yamaha Marine Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Yoshihiro Mizushima, Shu Akuzawa

Patent number: 7263971Abstract: A knocking control device for a watercraft engine includes a knocking learning value renewing section for changing a knocking learning value toward a low octane number ignition timing map when the knock sensor detects a knocking condition. The device changes the knocking learning value toward a high octane number ignition timing map when the knock sensor does not detect a knocking condition. An ignition timing determining section retards or advances an ignition timing based upon the knocking learning value given from the knocking learning value renewing section. The knocking learning value renewing section is constructed not to change the knocking learning value toward the high octane number ignition timing map, when an engine speed is in the vicinity of a full throttle condition.Type: GrantFiled: September 28, 2005Date of Patent: September 4, 2007Assignee: Yamaha Marine Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Yoshihiro Mizushima
