Electronic Control Enhances New Marine Transmissions
01 May 2002
To enhance its recently introduced QuickShift MGX series marine transmissions, Twin Disc is offering further component options including the Express electronic control upgrade which gives precise and instant control while docking and performing other low speed manoeuvres.
In addition to the advanced technology embodied in the performance of the QuickShift transmission, this system boasts infinite propeller speed control with one movement of the control lever.
Incorporating the EC251 controls, Express is an integral part of creating a system which includes the MGX-series. Full power is available at all times when using Express, which creates a smooth transition from very low engine speeds in slip mode to high engine speeds with full engagement of the clutchpack. By taking advantage of Twin Disc's QuickShift transmission and the functional capabilities of the EC251's electronics, Express enhances vessel handling while also providing automatic management of the transition from slip mode to full lock-up. Docking and slow speed manoeuvres are accomplished without jogging between forward and reverse.
