ABSTRACT:
A propulsion and control system for watercraft, surface craft and the like wherein at least one thrust generator capable of continuously producing thrusts of variable magnitudes is pivotally mounted to the vehicle in a manner such that it is capable of simultaneous swing movement about at least two axes angularly oriented with respect to each other. The invention includes steering control apparatus operative during normal maneuvering of the watercraft to selectively position the thrust generator in a plurality of orientations with respect to the axes such that selective combinations of thrust magnitudes and directions facilitates selective propulsion and control of the vehicle. The steering control apparatus being positionable during normal maneuvering of the watercraft such that the thrust generator is positionable from forward to reverse and back again for facilitating selective propulsion and control of the craft between corresponding forward and reverse directions.
