ABSTRACT:
A watercraft control system for a watercraft having multiple control stations routes operation control signals in a non-competing, non-contradictory manner. In an embodiment, the control system includes a plurality of links. When abnormalities affect one or more of the communication links, the control system maintains communication through one or more of the unaffected communication links.
