SBW (Steer by Wire) system
Outline
The steering system has been changed from a mechanical system that was used for previous models
to an electronically controlled power-operated steering system. Because the steering system has been
designed with a sufficient margin for use with large boats, the system is responsive and provides a sta-
ble feeling when steering the boat.
The system is comprised of an integrated unit that is simple and compact. Because the system has an
easy-to-use design that can be used just by connecting the wiring, the time required for rigging is re-
duced and space is used more efficiently.
For multiple engine applications, because the system is always monitoring the positions of the outboard
motors, the system controls the outboard motors to ensure that the appropriate distance is maintained
between the outboard motors.
In addition, because the system includes a dual monitoring system, the boat can still be steered using
the backup system if a malfunction occurs. Even if a malfunction occurs that prevents the power-oper-
ated steering of the boat, the system includes a mechanism for adjusting the steering angle manually.
