Touch Panel
The compact and flush design keeps smaller dashboards tidy and prevents ropes from snagging on sailboats.
Joystick Panel
Our most popular model that provides a comfortable and user friendly control of the bow thruster.
Dual Joystick Panel
The professional choice when having two thrusters is this space saving dual joystick panel. Easy control of both bow and stern thruster with just one hand.
Docking Panel
The docking panel is a revolutionary concept in thruster control. It provides intuitive control of bow and stern thrusters by simply moving the boat shaped switch the way you want your boat to move (patents pending).
Radio Link for Control Panels
The radio link eliminates the need for difficult cable runs between control panel(s) and thruster. Consisting of a transmitter box, that connects to a control panel and a remote control receiver that plugs into the thruster(s), the receiver accepts up to 4 independent transmitters or hand held radio remotes. The multi-channel system supports two thrusters and can be mixed with hard wired control panels. Full Sidepower safety level with child-safe activation and intelligent auto-off, even at the receiver.
