Joystick—Basic Operation
A joystick offers precise, intuitive control of your boat during low speed and docking maneuvers. The joystick translates the
movement of the joystick into similar movement of the boat. Engine speed is limited in this mode to prevent unacceptable boat
dynamics during maneuvers.
Your vessel will be equipped with a joystick at all helm stations and may have additional joysticks at auxiliary locations.
While operation with a joystick is easy to learn, we recommend that you drive the boat in the traditional way until you can spend
time in an open area free of obstructions and traffic to learn how your boat responds to joystick inputs. Further, we recommend
that you occasionally practice maneuvering in the traditional way to maintain your traditional drive docking skills in case joystick
control is temporarily not available.
Refer to Section 2—Maneuvering with the Joystick, for complete information concerning joystick operation.
Operating With an Auxiliary Joystick (If Equipped)
An auxiliary joystick located at a separate station called an auxiliary joystick station offers the same control of the boat as does a
helm joystick. The operator may transfer to an auxiliary joystick station after meeting certain control requirements at the main
helm.
There may be multiple auxiliary joystick stations located on the vessel. Each auxiliary joystick station is equipped with a joystick,
an E‑stop switch, and a control pad.
The auxiliary joystick station control pad includes:
• Indicator lights for drive train status (two lights for dual, three for triple, four for quad)
• A fault (alarm) indicator light and horn
• A transfer button equipped with an indicator light
