Kobelt's 2-Station Control System Is Simple In Design, Durable In Construction Kobelt, manufacturer of high quality marine controls for 25 years, has recently introduced an innova- tive new two-station, single engine control system for clutch and engine throttle functions. Known as the 2090 Series, it was designed to pro- vide the ultimate in simplicity, du- rability and performance, particu- larly in saltwater environments. With the 2090 Series, the control handles at both stations move to- gether. As a result of this configura- tion, operation of the boat is greatly simplified. Clutch position and speed are indicated on both control heads. At the second station the clutch is then reengaged and the engine accelerated. As a result, for- ward speed is not maintained and undue stress is placed on the control system. Kobelt's system provides smooth, continuous operation. Kobelt's single-engine system consists of only two control heads and four cables. Installation is sim- ple and maintenance is uncompli- cated. Other systems are built with seven cables and five components. Often they are constructed using corrosive materials. All Kobelt components are made from die-cast bronze with stainless steel hardware. Bearings and pins are oversized for longer life. Kobelt products feature a five-year warran- ty and are supported by sales and service organizations around the world.

Port Of Portland Dedicates $46-Million Terminal 2 Rehabilitation Project The Port of Portland recently dedicated its $46-million Terminal 2 rehabilitation project as Oregon's State Treasurer Tony Meeker de- clared the project was "good news for every Oregonian." The rehabilitation project has transformed Terminal 2 into a mod- ern general and breakbulk cargo ter- minal. The multipurpose facility provides the Port of Portland with the flexibility to handle most types of vessels: containers, roll-on /roll- off, pass/pass, and breakbulk ships and barges. The new construction is complete except for the one warehouse and an 85-ton-lift-capacity crane that will arrive in the fall of 1988 from South Korea, where it is being constructed by Hyundai Heavy Industries. There were several contractors on the project, including Riedel Inter- national of Portland, and General Construction, Seattle, that worked in a joint venture on the berths, demolition, and dredging; Clear- water Construction, Portland, which handled the 18 acres of stor- age yard; Lorentz Brunn, Portland, administration building and entry gate; Grady Harper and Carlson, Portland, large warehouse and maintenance shed; Colamette Con- struction, Portland, small ware- house; and Pacific Crest Construc- tion, Portland, dock office.
