Helm Control Systems
4.7 Joystick Controls
A joystick control system is standard equipment on
quad engine boats. The joystick can only be used at
slow speeds. It is engaged by moving the shift and
throttle controls to the neutral position and pressing
the Joystick button on the base of the joystick control
or the keypad on the main engine controls. Once
activated, the boat moves in the direction the joystick
is pushed with engine speed increasing the further
the stick is pushed, up to preset limits. Turning the
knob on the top of the joystick rotates the boat in the
direction the knob is turned. Another button on the
joystick or engine control key pad raises the preset
engine speed for maneuvering in high winds and/or
strong currents.
When the joystick is released, it automatically returns
to center, the engines shift to neutral, rotate to the
straight ahead position, and engine speed is reduced
to idle. It is deactivated by pressing the Joystick
button at the base of the joystick or control keypad
or by moving the shift and throttle control levers.
All engines must be running for the joystick control
to maneuver the boat properly.
Always refer to the engine manufacturer own-
er’s manuals for specific information on the
operation and maintenance for the joystick and
steering control systems on your boat.
