MERCURY PRESENTS THE JOYSTICK SYSTEM

STEERING FOR SINGLE-ENGINE VESSELS

Mercury Marine® has introduced the Mercury Joystick Steering system for Single-Engine Vessels, compatible with the range of Mercury Verado® V8, V10 and V12 outboard engines from 250 to 600 hp. The Joystick Steering for Single-Engine Vessels with electric steering system completes Mercury's range of joystick systems, offering effortless control to owners of boats equipped with sterndrive engines, inboard engines, Zeus® foot pods, multiple outboards even with bow thruster integrated, single-engine pontoons with deployable propellers and now even boats with a single outboard engine.

“This new Joystick Steering system is unique, as it was designed specifically for single-engine boats. It features a simple user interface with a single point of contact for accelerator, gear shift and steering, which facilitates one-handed use without neglecting ergonomics": these are the words of Tyler Mehrl, senior manager of the Joystick category, Steering and Accelerator and Gearbox Controls.

The Joystick Steering for Single-Engine Vessels system eliminates the need for boaters to use both hands to accelerate, shift gears and steer during low-speed maneuvers such as docking. Not only is one-handed operation more comfortable, but the precision control provided by the steering system will give users greater confidence where maneuvering a single outboard can be more challenging than a multi-motor setup.

The new Joystick for single-engine boats features an elegant design and has no physical buttons. In addition to allowing proportional forward and backward movements, its rotation function ensures precise and intuitive maneuvers.

The Joystick Steering for Single-Engine Vessels system can also act as an autopilot when paired with a compatible Multi-Function Display (MFD) incorporating GPS and Mercury SmartCraft Connect. “The autopilot has two functions: Heading and Heading,” Mehrl explained. “Setting a route on the MFD is very simple: just define the navigation points. When the Heading function is activated, you can adjust the heading in 1° or 10° steps on the MFD, or by 10° by rotating the Joystick, which can then be used to precisely set the navigation direction.”
