ABSTRACT:
A control system for outrigger sport fishing includes a highly maneuverable outrigger mounting mechanism attached to a portion of a boat on both the starboard and port sides. The movements of either outrigger mounting mechanisms are controlled through joysticks near a control console. The joysticks provide independent control for movement of each outrigger mechanism. The mechanisms are powered and operated by an electro-hydraulic control system which among other components includes an n-port solenoid operated manifold, a motor, pump and a reservoir for storage of the fluid. The operator controlled joystick providing an input signal representing the desired position of the pole. The controlled movement of the outrigger poles includes raising and lowering from positions parallel to the longitudinal axis of the keel and in directions pointing vertically perpendicular to the keel. Also, the controlled movement of the pole is to the stern of the boat, as well as outwardly from the axis of the boat to positions horizontally perpendicular thereto and transcribing points throughout.
