Problem :
Many boat owners are interested in swapping out mechanical systems such as cable throttles and hydraulic steering with more advanced and automated options. These new options are the core components of autonomous control and work in tandem with advanced sensor networks for a safer and more enjoyable experience.
Solution :
Our engineers replaced the thick mechanical cable mechanism with digital sensors and controls. This system is built with automation at its core concept.
Innovation :
This Fully electric Jack plate is designed to allow the user to control outboard tilt/Trim and steering through a digital interface. With our Digital throttled, electric steering and all electric jack plate you can enable your boat to run on autopilot and go from point A to B without human intervention.
Specifications :
- The steering is provided with 2 powerful servo motors in push pull arrangement.
- The servos and the tilt actuator are controlled via an 8-bit microcontroller with PID Algorithm. This allows you to control the steering of the boat in autopilot mode.
- The servos have 8-bit resolution with metal gears and a large torque coupled with quick response time.
- The system has a 3000 N linear actuator that allows you to raise the outboard up to 30 degrees out of the water.
- The structure is made of Aircraft grade Aluminum 6061 Alloy. With pillow block bearings.
