Mercury Joystick Integration With Sleipner

Mercury Joystick Integration with Sleipner

Previously, the thruster system and the engine joystick system were independent with separate controls. Now Mercury JPO combines these into one single joystick for more intuitive 360-degree control.

Mercury joins the long list of engine and gearbox manufacturers that already integrate with Sleipner thrusters and S-Link like ZF, Twin Disc, XENTA, mtu, Glendinning, Yanmar, Volvo and others. Ideal for outboard-powered boats from 20 to 65 feet, the proportional thrusters are designed for operators looking for more control in tight spaces and in windy conditions. With Sleipner proportional thruster systems, boaters are able to use a smaller amount of continuous thrust, rather than a series of short, full-power bursts. Not only is this more intuitive, but it results in a quieter and smoother maneuver.

Sleipner Thruster & Joystick Integration Webinar with Boating Magazine

Boating Magazine Editor-in-Chief Kevin Falvey sits down with Sleipner thruster expert Peter Nolet to discuss Sleipner's integration with joystick controls as well as their newest line.

The Benefits

Easy tie-in with engines via Sleipner’s S-Link system.
Precise maneuvering in tight spaces via bow thruster assist.
Ideal for docking in unsettled conditions.
Software updates available for the S-Link system to keep up with latest technology.
