Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001034463
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
A dual axis joystick control system is used intuitively for manoeuvring a waterborne vessel having two or more waterjets with steering deflectors (13) and reverse ducts (14) mounted independently of the steering deflectors. The joystick (21) is operated to actuate the reverse ducts of the port and starboard waterjets for either common or differential deflections of thrust, and to actuate the steering deflectors of the port and starboard waterjets for common deflections of thrust.
