Joystick Screen - Mercury VesselView Manual

Section 7 - Environment and Navigation Menu
When the Skyhook is engaged, the boat stays in a preset position; however, Skyhook can disengage unexpectedly. When
Skyhook disengages, the boat does not hold the preset position and may drift, causing the potential of damage or personal
injury. The helm operator must be able to take control of the boat when using Skyhook.

Joystick Screen

The "JOYSTICK" screen provides a visual representation of a drive direction, thrust, and a vessel compass heading and is only
available with Zeus and Axius power packages. Dual power package installations will show the arrows on the drives indicating
the direction of the thrust with blue for forward thrust and pink for reverse thrust. The length of the thrust color indicates the
amount of thrust that is applied. The icon color will change to green when the joystick is activated. Triple and quad power
package installations will display information similar to the "AUTOPILOT" screens for joystick operation.
