Abstract
A marine vessel maneuvering system able to improve operability when shifting a marine vessel to a pivot turning mode includes a rotatable operator to maneuver a marine vessel, and a controller configured or programmed to shift to a pivot turning mode in which the marine vessel is turned on the spot. In a rotation operation direction of the operator, a high friction region where a resistance of a rotation operation increases is set within a rotatable range of the operator. When the operator is rotated to the high-friction region, the controller is configured or programmed to shift the marine vessel to the pivot turning mode.
Claims17
A marine vessel maneuvering system comprising:
- a rotatable operator to maneuver a marine vessel;
- and
- a controller configured or programmed to shift to a pivot turning mode in which the marine vessel is turned on the spot;
- wherein
- in a rotation operation direction of the operator, a high friction region where a resistance of a rotation operation increases is set within a rotatable range of the operator;
- and
- when the operator is rotated to the high-friction region, the controller is configured or programmed to shift the marine vessel to the pivot turning mode.
A marine vessel maneuvering system comprising:
- a rotatable operator to maneuver a marine vessel;
- and
- a controller configured or programmed to shift to a pivot turning mode in which the marine vessel is turned on the spot;
- wherein
- the operator includes a lateral movement switch to shift the marine vessel to a lateral movement mode which moves the marine vessel in a lateral direction;
- and
- when the operator is rotated by a predetermined rotation angle or more while the lateral movement switch is operated, the controller is configured or programmed to shift the marine vessel to the pivot turning mode.
A marine vessel maneuvering system comprising:
- a rotatable operator to maneuver a marine vessel;
- and
- a controller configured or programmed to shift the marine vessel to a predetermined movement mode;
- wherein
- in a rotation operation direction of the rotatable operator, a high friction region where a resistance of a rotation operation increases is set within a rotatable range of the operator;
- and
- when the operator is rotated to the high-friction region, the controller is configured or programmed to shift the marine vessel to the predetermined movement mode.
A marine vessel comprising:
- a rotatable operator to maneuver the marine vessel;
- and
- a controller configured or programmed to shift to a pivot turning mode in which the marine vessel is turned on the spot;
- wherein
- in a rotation operation direction of the operator, a high friction region where a resistance of a rotation operation increases is set within a rotatable range of the operator;
- and
- when the operator is rotated to the high-friction region, the controller is configured or programmed to shift the marine vessel to the pivot turning mode.
