The Sturdy Marine Propulsion Control System (MPCS) is the right choice for your vessel. The MPCS is the most accurate, responsive and reliable propulsion control system available in the market today. Years of listening to the needs of boat owners and captains along with the marine control industries most rigorous testing in harsh marine environments has yielded the MPCS electronic throttle and gear control system. The MPCS will do the job of properly commanding your new fully electronic diesel engines.

Besides the advantages of easy and safe operation from the helm station, the Sturdy MPCS will protect your engine and transmission from inadvertent gear changes during periods of high engine RPMs. The Sturdy MPCS constantly monitors the engine speed and based on engine speed at the time of shift will reduce the engine speed momentarily to allow a safe non-damaging gear direction change. Then the MCPS returns engine speed back to the commanded speed at the helm. There are no built-in fixed blind timers to interfere with proper shifting when engine speeds are at proper shifting speeds, as our competition has designed into their product. The Sturdy MPCS is intelligent system that is designed to be integral with the power train and only assists the captain when necessary for safe and smooth operation.  The MPCS includes, as standard, a twin engine synchronizer. Just activate the Sync mode at any time and use one throttle lever to control the speed of both engines at the same exact speed. The MPCS also offers the option of trolling valve control for both fully electric or mechanical valve model transmissions.
