The PRM Electric Shift system provides a proven,
cost-effective method of controlling both mechanical and electronic marine
drivelines.
Complementing the fully electronic control option of PRM's
Marine Propulsion Control system, the Electric Shift valve can be supplied
factory fitted or retrofitted to all current (PRM260 to PRM1750) and most of the
older PRM gearbox models.
Comprising a solenoid control valve that is actuated by two
electrical coils, the system utilises PRM's standard valve block to achieve fast
and effective gear shifting on all types of vessel.
A purpose-designed lever is available from PRM to meet the
need of the mechanically controlled engines fitted with electric shift
gearboxes.
Similarly, the Morse KE-5 control system can be used to
provide all-electronic operation of driveline installations with electronically
controlled engines. In addition, all systems have the option of single or twin
lever controls for multiple stations.
For added safety, the PRM electric shift system also offers
manual override in the event of an on-board electrical power failure.
