Abstract
Combination of marine vessel and outboard motor, wherein at least one outboard motor is attached in a predetermined position to the transom of the marine vessel, the motor being mounted so as to translate according to a path with at least one motion component having an orientation parallel to the direction of the transverse axis of the hull and/or parallel to the transom of said hull and alternatively towards one or the other side of the hull.
Claims22
-21. (canceled)
A combination of marine vessel and outboard motor, comprising:
- at least one outboard motor attached in a predetermined position to a transom of the marine vessel, the at least one motor being mounted so as to translate according to a path having at least one motion component with an orientation parallel to a direction of a transverse axis of a hull, or parallel to the transom and alternatively towards one or another side of the hull.
A method of steering a marine vessel having one or more outboard motors, comprising:
- moving at least one outboard motor according to a path with at least one motion component having an orientation parallel to a direction of a transverse axis of a hull, or parallel to a transom of the hull and alternatively towards one or another side of the hull.
A propulsion group for a marine vessel comprising:
- at least one outboard motor;
- devices fastening the at least one outboard motor to allow the at least one outboard motor to be moved along predetermined linear two-dimensional and three-dimensional paths by displacement actuators;
- and
- a system controlling the actuators driving said devices, the system comprising at least one control member operable by a user and at least one control unit receiving control signals generated by the at least one control member and transforming the control signals into power signals, thereby operating the displacement actuators according to the control signals generated by the at least one control member.
