ABSTRACT:
A remote control system for transmitting control movement to a throttle and transmission actuator of an outboard drive unit having an engine. The system preferably includes two remote control units each having an operator that is movable between a plurality of positions and is mechanically connected to an actuator unit. A transmitter wire mechanically connects the actuator unit to the throttle actuator for actuating it to open or close the throttle valve(s) of the engine in response to movement of a selected one of the operators. A position detector detects the position of the selected operator and another position detector detects the position of the transmission actuator and each detector outputs a signal to a controlling unit indicative of its detection result. An electric motor driven actuator is electrically connected to the controlling unit and is operated to effect movement of the transmission actuator when the signals outputted by the position detectors are not in agreement. An interrupt circuit is also electrically connected to the controlling unit and is activated to interrupt the operation of the engine if the position of the selected operator has changed and if the engine speed is determined to be greater than 1000 rpm for maintaining a relatively low engine speed during gear shifting operation.
