Mercury Joystick Steering Pioneering Since 2007
Launched in 2007, Mercury Joystick Piloting was initially integrated with Zeus pod drives for larger sport cruisers.
This pioneering technology empowered users to effortlessly control throttle, shifting, and steering of multi-engine boats single-handedly using a joystick.
Now in 2024, the company launches the system for single-engine vessels.
It negates the requirement for boaters to employ both hands for throttling, shifting, and steering during low-speed manoeuvres like docking.
Some may argue that this represents a decline in navigational proficiency.
