Page 9: System Overview
2 System Overview 2.1 System description SeaStar i7X00 is an electromechanical system that replaces a traditional cable-operated engine remote control with an electronic control. Shift and throttle settings are sent over a serial data network to electro-mechanical actuators, where they are converted to cable motion. The elimination of mechanical cables to the control head simplifies multi-station installations, especially when a station is installed onto a flybridge or tower that is removed for shipping. -
