Joystick Piloting for Inboards

Mercury Marine has launched Joystick Piloting for Inboards for single- and dual-engine tow sport boats. The joystick technology allows the engine to work with bow and stern thrusters to provide ultimate vessel control and a superior driving experience. The system is designed to work with the tow sports variants of Mercury’s new and award-winning range of purpose-built marine inboard and sterndrive engines.

The only joystick piloting system that’s compatible with gasoline or diesel inboard and tow sport engines.

The only joystick piloting system for both single- and dual-inboard boats.

Compatible with Vetus® or Side Power™ brand thrusters – giving you Joystick Piloting on almost any inboard-powered boat.

Joystick Piloting for Inboards makes docking and trailering much easier. The engine and thrusters work together in low-speed maneuvers, allowing you to make precise movements to pull up to the dock or load the boat on a trailer.

With a twist of the joystick, you can quickly turn the boat around to pick up a rider without making a wide circle and without creating a lot of wake.

Mercury Smart Tow can set the cruise speed as low as 8 mph, letting you create the perfect conditions for wake surfing. It comes with five launch profiles, and you can customize up to eight more – so you can personalize the ride to the rider.

With Mercury Joystick Piloting, you can dock surely, safely and with total confidence. The crew? They can just sit back and be impressed.

Move sideways, diagonally or spin the boat on its own axis. Dock in close quarters without being concerned about wind or current. Easily load the boat on a trailer. Throttle, shift and steering - right at your fingertips.

The outstanding warranty coverage on Mercury engines also extends to the controls and rigging components on your boat. If your builder or dealer uses genuine Mercury gauges and controls when installing the new engine on your boat, the warranty coverage for those rigging components now matches the total warranty of your engine. This means you could have up to an additional two years of control and rigging component coverage – based on the engine purchased.
