Abstract
An aeration control system and method for a marine vessel. The system includes a valve configured to be coupled to an aeration conduit of a marine vessel. The valve is configured to be responsive to a valve control signal having a first value so as to be open and to provide air to the aeration conduit, and the valve configured to be responsive to the valve control signal having a second value so as to be closed and not provide air to the aeration conduit. The aeration control system also includes a control device, electrically coupled to the valve, that provides the valve control signal to the valve

A control system for an articulating propeller of a marine vessel, the marine vessel having an engine, the control system comprising:
- an actuator coupled to the articulating propeller;
- and
- a control device operative to control the actuator to vary a submergence of the articulating propeller based at least in part on at least one engine load signal sensed from the engine.
A control system for an articulating propeller of a marine vessel, the marine vessel having an engine, the control system comprising:
- an actuator coupled to the articulating propeller;
- and
- a control device operative to control the actuator to vary a torque on the articulating propeller by varying a submergence of the articulating propeller based at least in part on at least one operating parameter of the engine.
An aeration control system for a marine vessel, comprising:
- a valve configured to be coupled to an aeration conduit of a marine vessel, the valve configured to be responsive to a valve control signal having a first value so as to be at least partially open and to provide air to the aeration conduit, and the valve configured to be responsive to the valve control signal having a second value that is substantially closed so as to restrict air to the aeration conduit;
- and
- a control device, coupled to the valve, that provides the valve control signal to the valve.
