Engine Control Unit

The Engine Control Unit (ECU) is a crucial component of ship and boat propulsion systems. It is a device that manages and controls the operation of the engine. The ECU is responsible for monitoring various parameters of the engine, such as temperature, pressure, fuel flow, and exhaust emissions.

The ECU receives input from various sensors placed throughout the engine and uses this information to make real-time adjustments to optimize engine performance. It controls the ignition timing, fuel injection, and other engine functions to ensure efficient and reliable operation.

In addition to monitoring and controlling the engine, the ECU also provides diagnostic capabilities. It can detect and report any malfunctions or abnormalities in the engine system, allowing for timely maintenance and repairs.

Overall, the Engine Control Unit plays a vital role in ship and boat propulsion systems by ensuring optimal engine performance, fuel efficiency, and reliability.
