NOTICE! For movements shown below, bow thruster
needs to be installed on the boat.
Bow thruster is controlled by moving the joystick
sideways.
Diagonal movements can be performed with a
combination of joystick movements, such as rotating
and pushing the joystick at the same time.
NOTICE! Twisting the joystick in neutral position will
not have any effect on maneuvering the boat.
Joystick Driving
NOTICE! Function Joystick Driving works together
with Volvo Penta autopilot for all installations.
The Joystick Driving function allows the joystick to be
used during passage to adjust the boat's heading and
maneuver the boat in the same way as with the
autoplilot and helm steering unit.
Throttle and gear shift controls work in the normal
manner.
Learn to maneuver the boat with the joystick in calm,
open waters.
Joystick Driving is activated and de-activated by
pressing the
button on the joystick.
When Joystick Driving is activated the autopilot is also
started. While the boat is under joystick control the
autopilot is in standby mode; when the joystick is
released to its central position the autopilot is activated
and locks in on the new heading after a few seconds.
Like the autopilot, the helm steering unit is locked when
the function is active but it may always be used for e.g.
changing course or giving way for an obstacle. Twist
the top of the joystick or move it sideways to reengage
Joystick Driving.
If the autopilot is put in standby mode manually by
means of the STBY button, Joystick Driving switched
off and must be reengaged using the button on the
joystick.
