Control joystick for boat bow thruster
PDJS Vetus

PRO-DOCKER

THIS INTELLIGENT JOYSTICK MAKES MANOEUVRING FUN!
The Pro-Docker brings computer control to the helmsman's fingertips and makes manoeuvring your boat not only simple, but enjoyable too. The Pro-Docker simultaneously controls the propulsion engine(s), the bow thruster and the stern thruster if fitted. Intuitive operation of just a single joy stick is all that is needed to perform the most accurate boat movements. This makes even the tightest berthing manoeuvre not only a pleasure but a source of pride. The VETUS Pro-Docker is the perfect assistant, allowing you to handle your boat like a true professional. The VETUS Pro-Docker system
may be used in combination with all types of bow and/or stern thrusters, whether electrically or hydraulically driven.
As an option, it can also be interfaced with the VETUS follow-up steering system, so that the rudders can be operated too.
Intuitive operation of the joystick allows proportional control of the bow and stern thrusters; from very slow up to full thrust, by gradually moving the joystick to port or starboard. By rotating the joystick, clockwise or anti-clockwise, the boat will rotate in the appropriate direction. The engines are controlled by moving the joystick forwards or backwards. Any combination of the joystick movement is possible to give you full and precise control.
