Marine Propulsion Systems

 Over 50 years ago, we introduced the industry’s first single lever control
systems, and we have been designing and manufacturing control
systems for marine vessels, yachts and pleasure boats ever since. We
established our reputation for reliable, responsive control systems at
the very beginning and have continued by using new technology to our
advantage. This is evident in CruiseCommand and our new 9000 Series
controls.

Product Characteristics

Plug-in Installation Synchronization

With plug connectors, CruiseCommand and the Engine synchronization is standard on all processors.
9000 Series make installation easier, cutting labor Synchronization automatically maintains the same speed on multiple
time significantly. Determine cable length, engine engines, thereby increasing operating efficiency, improving fuel
and gear requirements and you’re ready to plug in economy and reducing noise and vibration. One lever operation is
this system. To make it even easier, we’ll provide available, allowing control of multiple engines and transmissions
custom kits to meet specific needs for production with one lever.
