The joystick provides an intuitive driver interface to
maneuver the vessel. Operating the vessel with the
joystick is well suited for close quarter operations
and when docking.

The joystick controls the thruster(s), the throttle
RPM, and shifting to move the vessel in a direction
corresponding to the joystick movement or twist. For
example, if you move the joystick directly sideways,
the control system engages the thruster(s) and/
or propulsion engines to move the vessel in the
sideways direction.
To maneuver the vessel with the joystick:
1. Move both Shift/Throttle levers to the
neutral position.
2. Press the center Transfer button on the joystick
module once to initiate the transfer and a
second time to confirm the transfer.
3. Move the joystick in the direction you want
the vessel to move, or twist the joystick in
the direction you want the vessel to rotate.

The joystick controls the throttle RPM, shifting,
and steering to move the vessel in a direction
corresponding to the joystick movement or twist.
To maneuver the vessel with the joystick:
1. Move both Shift/Throttle levers to the
neutral position.
2. Move the joystick in the direction that you want the
vessel to move, or twist the joystick in the direction
that you want the vessel to rotate. The joystick
can be moved and rotated at the same time. Use
gentle joystick movements until you gain comfort
with the corresponding vessel response.
NOTE: To prevent drive engagement resulting
from unintended movement of the joystick while
the engines are running, press the "THROTTLE
ONLY" button.
The following joystick operations give some
limited examples of the basic responses to inputs
from the joystick. The joystick is proportional,
which means that the farther from the center the
joystick is moved, the more thrust is applied to
the boat in that direction, up to a maximum preset
engine RPM.
