Joystick steering, type approved
installation
The joystick steering function allows the joystick to be
used during passage to adjust the boat's course and
maneuver the boat in the same way as with the steer-
ing wheel. Throttle and gear shift controls work in the
normal manner.
Learn to maneuver the boat with the joystick in calm,
open waters.
Joystick steering is activated and de-activated by
pressing the
button on the joystick.
The steering wheel can also be used when joystick
steering is active e.g. to change course or avoid an
obstacle. Twist the top of the joystick or move it side-
ways to re-activate joystick steering.

Maneuvering
Twist the top of the joystick to change rudder angle
gradually. A short twist changes the rudder one
degree while a twist held firm will change course
through several degrees.
The joystick can also be used to steer the boat in the
same way as a steering wheel. Move the joystick
sideways to steer the boat in the same direction.
When the joystick is released the rudder angle reverts
to 0°.
Full joystick movement to one side corresponds to full
helm.
Maneuvering abeam provides a faster response than
adjusting the course by twisting the top of the joystick.
