ABSTRACT:
A remote control system is provided for transmitting control movement from a remote control unit to a controlled element which includes a throttle or transmission control lever on a marine propulsion unit. An operator is associated with the remote control unit and is movable between a plurality of positions. The remote control system further includes a pair of detectors, one in proximity to the remote control unit for transmitting an electrical signal to a controlling unit indicative of the detected position of the operator, and the other positioned in proximity to the controlled element for transmitting an electrical signal to the controlling unit indicative of the detected position of the controlled element. An electric actuator which includes an electric motor is controlled by the controlling unit on the basis of the electrical signals received by the controlling unit to effect movement of the throttle or transmission control lever so that the position of the control lever corresponds with the position of the operator. If the electrical system should fail, however, a manual actuator which includes a lever is provided for manually effecting movement of the control lever.
