Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0778196A1] A control device for a water-jet propulsor capable of setting an appropriate maneuvering force and suited for complicated maneuver operations involving many ship maneuvering effectors has been demanded. A water-jet propelled watercraft is constituted by disposing at least a pair of main propulsors (5, 6) each having a reverser mechanism to control the forward/reverse thrust and a deflector mechanism to control the deflector angle, and at least a pair of auxiliary propulsors (7, 8) each having a reverser mechanism, both on the port and starboard sides at the stern. Forward/reverse thrusts and deflector angles of the main propulsors (5, 6) are controlled by means of a single joystick (1) and forward/reverse thrusts of the auxiliary propulsors (7, 8) are independently controlled by means of a heading control dial (2).
