Abstract:
An electronic controller is provided for controlling operation of the engine and/or transmission in a marine propulsion system without use of mechanical linkages. A control allows for setting a desired engine speed signal and a signal link allows for electromagnetically transmitting the desired engine speed signal from the control to the controller. A module allows for supplying to the engine, based on a received signal indicative of actual engine speed and the desired engine speed signal, an engine control signal for adjusting engine speed.
