Title:

AUTOMATIC THROTTLE CALIBRATION IN A MARINE VESSEL

Document Type and Number:

WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/098919

Kind Code:

A3

Abstract:

A method of calibrating throttle controls in an electronic shift and throttle system includes opening the throttle and then moving the throttle back towards a hard stop in increments. The voltage level of an electrical signal sent by a throttle position sensor is measured and recorded at each increment. An idle position is established as being where the lowest voltage level was measured when the throttle is at least 0.75° away from the hard stop.
