A data storing method for a marine propulsion system uses two groups of three data logs each in which each data log comprises a plurality of data records. The information on preselected parameters are stored into the data records of the three data logs at different time increments. This allows the three data logs to cover a relatively long period of time at a lesser resolution, a shortest period of time at a highest resolution, and an intermediate period of time at an intermediate resolution. This allows an analyst to carefully review the various parameter magnitudes during the periods of time immediately preceding a catastrophic event, such as an accident or an engine failure, either of which resulting in an engine shut down.

Data recording method for a marine propulsion device

A position and speed sensor comprising a circular element (,) rotatably driven about its axis. The circular element (,) has two position indicators (,) of different angular width. A sensor means (,) is fixed in position with respect to and adjacent to the circular element (,). The sensor means (,) has a sensing element for sensing the passage of each of the position indicators (,) past the sensing clement. An electrical signal is produced by the sensor means (,) corresponding to the passage of each of the sensed position indicators (,). The signal has a duration corresponding to the angular widths of the sensed position indicators (,). Also included is a means to process the electrical signal to produce information as to the angular position and angular velocity of the circular element. A method for reverse rotation detection using the position and speed sensor means (,) is also disclosed.

Electronic position and speed sensing device

An ignition system for use in internal combustion engines, in which there is provided a plurality of charging means, at least one of the plurality of charging means being adapted to provide charge to a plurality of charge storage means, in a predetermined manner, the charge storage means being arranged to collectively activate a spark means.
