Master Thesis: Concept Development for Extended Steering and Tilt Range in Sterndrive Systems

Transport is at the core of modern society. Imagine using your expertise to shape sustainable transport and infrastructure solutions for the future. If you seek to make a difference on a global scale, working with next-gen technologies and the sharpest collaborative teams, then we could be a perfect match. Background Sterndrive systems provide propulsion and steering through an drive mounted at the stern of a boat. The steering and tilt ranges of the outdrive are mechanically limited to protect components such as the steering linkage, driveshaft joints, gears, transom assembly, and trim cylinders from interference, excessive loads, or loss of function. These limits can constrain maneuverability and access in shallow-water or other operating conditions.…
