Propulsion Control Systems
The ease in which you can control a vessel is determined by the transmission control system. The Twin Disc control systems are among the most qualitative and reliable ones available. Twin Disc control systems have been developed on the basis of decades of practical experience.
EC600
The EC600 Power Commander (EC600PC) from Twin Disc is fully electronic and suitable for all common electronically controlled engines and gearboxes. With one lever, you control both the engine and the gearbox, and you have access to Cruise, Express, and Trolling modes.
Experience the easiness and efficiency of the EC600PC system. This advanced control system, pre-wired with your QuickShift® gearbox, significantly simplifies installation. No need for external mounting or additional wiring. Add a control lever or station, and you are ready to fluidly control your engine and gearbox.
Diagnostic data can be read by ESCO Aandrijvingen or other Twin Disc service dealers. Combined with Twin Disc’s QuickShift® gearbox, the EC600 control system offers revolutionary improvements in comfort and safety.
