Abstract
The invention relates to command input means (1) for balance assemblies (22) having a cover housing (15) to be intuitively turned and a rocker (4) as well as a quick button (6), which respectively trigger different lowering functions on the balance assemblies (22) in the bottom or the top rotary speed ranges, respectively, a neutral button (7) which neutralises all functions and causes the balance assemblies (22) to move fully upwards, and enables further functions by means of the controller (9), such as triggering of the adjustment of the balance assemblies (22) as a function of the rotary speed or by means of turning the steering wheel (20) in an automatic manner, and the signals can also be used at the same time for controlling the trim of a stern drive (16).
