Mercury Marine® has announced a groundbreaking addition to their joystick systems with the introduction of the Mercury Joystick Steering for Single-Engine Vessels, unveiled at the Discover Boating™ Miami International Boat Show.

Key Features Includes

Electric Steering:

Provides smooth and effortless control, enhancing user experience.

Single-Touchpoint Interface:

Combines throttle, shift, and steering into a single, ergonomic control, allowing for intuitive one-handed operation.

Precision Control:

Offers greater maneuverability, especially useful for low-speed maneuvers like docking.

Sleek Design:

The joystick has a modern look with no physical buttons and allows for proportional movement and intuitive steering through twisting motions.
