Control Stick™ Controls Water Jet Or Prop Boats

The frustration of maneuvering in a crowded marina and parking in a slip has always been a predicament for many operators. The Control Stick™ allows you to complete this intimidating task with only the slightest movement of your wrist.
The system allows the captain to control forward, reverse, steering, and even sideways functions. The features of the Control Stick™ make it ideal for jet or prop boats. The intuitive movements of the stick create a feeling of true control and reduce the stress of the boating experience. Because the controls are analog and come with a standard electro-mechanical backup, it is more reliable than any digital method. The Control Stick™ will never leave you stranded, as the helm always overrides any stick functions.

The Control Stick™ operates on 12 or 24-volt DC and can be integrated to control the following features:

  • Transmission
  • Deflector
  • Bow Thruster
  • D.P. Control
  • Nozzle
  • Steering
  • Stern Thruster

This unique system can be used for:
  • Conventional Prop
  • Tunnel Drive
  • Stern Drive
  • Water Jet
  • Surface Drive
  • Z Drives
  • 16 feet to ship class (200 feet)

Control Stick installed on Vicem 65-foot trawler.

Pricing based on selected features and the method of propulsion and power plant used.

Available in all water jet models , our system can be retrofitted to any craft, jet or prop. Recently, Control Engineering has partnered with Costoldi Jet, a world-renowned leader in the manufacture of jet propulsion systems. The Control Stick™ can be customized for all water jet models including Hamilton, TWIN Disc, UltraJet, Kamewa, and Kodiak.

Large yachts, Express cruisers, and even smaller ski boats can incorporate the ease of use in this new product. The acclaim of this control option has motivated yacht brokers to retrofit previously-owned boats. These installs have proven to dramatically increase sales as an older yacht now has a leading edge over its competition. Contact us for a free ship survey at info@joystickcontrol.com.
