The Joystick

Easy and logical
Forget complicated shift, throttle and steering-wheel combinations in close-quarter manoeuvring. Simply move the joystick in the direction you want your boat to move.


You can do all your slow-speed driving with the joystick. Much easier than the traditional way!

Unparalleled manoeuvring power
The joystick function utilises the Volvo Penta IPS system, making it immensely robust and powerful. You get massive manoeuvring power to master a side wind or current and move in any direction. And in especially tricky situations, the booster function gives you even more power.


Twist the top to rotate. Combine it with any other move to compensate for wind or current.

Push the joystick to port or starboard and your boat goes sideways. Even "impossible" berths are now accessible.

How does it work?
The secret behind the amazing moves is the Volvo Penta IPS system with its individually steerable drive units. Sophisticated and specially developed software in the EVC system transforms the driver's joystick movements into steering angles, gear shifts and throttle positions. The boat moves exactly according to the driver's intentions.

The joystick is easy to install - also as a retrofit - in any Volvo Penta IPS-powered boat. Splash-proof design and up to four helm stations give maximum flexibility.

The Joystick benefits:

• Easy and logical one-hand manoeuvring.
• Move your boat in any direction
• Massive manoeuvring power.
• Limited engine RPM for slow speed only.
• No additional service.
• Retrofit possible on all Volvo Penta IPS powered boats.
