    2. Power Take Out (PTO)

    Encoders can be used to monitor the rotary speed of a PTO system. A power take-off (PTO) on a boat is a mechanical device that allows power from the boat's engine to be transferred to auxiliary equipment or systems onboard. The primary purpose of a PTO on a boat is to provide additional power for operating various deck machinery, auxiliary propulsion systems, or hydraulic systems.
