(54) Electromechanical control device particularly for boats


(57) Control device particularly for boats, at least a control mechanism (1) for setting the operation conditions of at least an engine and/or of other operating units, which control mechanism is movable along a predetermined path and for a predetermined travel between two end limit stop positions (201, 301); means (6) for setting the engine supply and/or the operation parameters of said other operating units which setting means have at least a mobile setting mechanism, such as for example a throttle of a carburator, and which setting mechanism is connected to said at least single control mechanism (1) by means of a mechanical transmission (2, 4, 6), such as a cable, lever or tie rod system or the like. A movement thereof causes a movement of the setting mechanism. According to the invention the system further provides a movement and/or position sensor (3) of the at least one control mechanism, which sensor produces electrical signals univocally correlated to the position and/or movement of said control mechanism; at least a motor actuator (5) for operating the setting mechanism, which motor actuator (5) is connected to a control gearcase and which gearcase produces control signals of the motor actuator univocally correlated and corresponding to signals transmitted by the position and/or movement sensor (401, 203); the motor actuator (5) and the mechanical transmission (4) being contemporaneously connected to the setting mechanism (6).
