Vision Marine Files New Patent Application for Electric Outboard Propulsion System
Vision Marine Technologies announced the filing of a new U.S. patent application relating to dual-mode trim-control technology for electric outboard propulsion systems. The filing is directed to supporting trim operation from both local outboard-side controls and compatible vessel-side electronic control systems. The application addresses practical operating scenarios in which boat owners, manufacturers, dealers and service technicians may need to adjust the position of an outboard during trailering, launching, docking, storage, commissioning or maintenance. The filing adds to Vision Marine's portfolio of patent applications and intellectual-property work relating to the E-Motion platform, including propulsion controls, outboard integration, power management, cooling systems, safety functions, fault detection, component authentication and secure vessel communications. The patent application is pending and remains subject to examination by the USPTO.
