ABSTRACT:
A number of embodiments of engine control for marine application wherein the engine is called upon to operate for long periods at speeds substantially below normal idling speed. This is encountered when trolling. The arrangement includes a system for substantially retarding the spark to assist in shifting and also to maintain stability when running at these low speeds. Adjustments may be made in air flow and fuel supply amounts so as to further augment the smooth running and avoid stalling under these trolling conditions. Various control routines for achieving appropriate ignition timing under the widely varying instantaneous speeds during trolling are also disclosed.
