Abstract

A boat maneuvering system, including a first power source having a first controller, a first operating device having a second controller configured to receive a first operation instruction and to output a first control signal for controlling the first power source, a second power source provided separately from the first power source, and a second operating device provided separately from the first operating device for operating the first and second power sources. The second operating device includes a third controller provided on a communication path connecting the first and second controllers, the third controller being configured to receive the first control signal, generate a second control signal, and output the second control signal to the first controller, and to receive a second operation instruction via the second operating device, generate a third control signal, and output the third control signal to the second power source.

Dependent claims

A boat maneuvering system for maneuvering a boat, comprising:

a first power source mountable on a body of the boat;
a first controller, including a first central processing unit (CPU), configured to control the first power source;
a first operating device configured to operate the first power source;
a second controller, including a second CPU, configured to receive a first operation instruction via the first operating device, and to output a first control signal for controlling the first power source;
a communication path that connects the first controller and the second controller to convey a signal therebetween;
a second power source provided separately from the first power source;
a second operating device provided separately from the first operating device for operating the first and second power sources;
and
a third controller, including a third CPU, provided on the communication path connecting the first and second controllers, the third controller being configured
to receive the first control signal from the second controller, to generate a second control signal, and to output the second control signal to the first controller, and
to receive a second operation instruction via the second operating device, to generate a third control signal, and to output the third control signal to the second power source.
