Overview
In this review, Captain Steve from BowTest.com evaluates the Volvo Penta Stern Drive Joystick, focusing on its functionality in close quarters maneuvering and other practical applications. The system is designed to enhance control and precision for boats equipped with stern drives, offering a modern approach to docking and handling.
Features and Operation
The Volvo Penta Stern Drive Joystick is a progressive control device, meaning that the amount of power applied corresponds directly to the degree of joystick movement. A slight push results in minimal power, while a more pronounced movement increases power output, allowing for nuanced control. This progressive response applies both to forward/reverse thrust and rotational maneuvers. The joystick requires activation via a dedicated button to prevent accidental engagement, adding a layer of safety especially around children or during busy operations.
Performance in Tight Spaces
Captain Steve demonstrates the joystick's capability by maneuvering the boat into a space no wider than the vessel's length, a scenario that typically challenges traditional docking techniques due to limited room for forward or aft movement and the ineffectiveness of spring lines. The joystick facilitates precise, gentle movements in such confined areas, significantly easing the docking process.
Power Settings and Handling
The joystick module includes two power settings tailored for different operational needs. The docking mode provides reduced power for delicate, slow-speed maneuvers near docks, ensuring controlled and safe approaches. Conversely, the high power mode delivers increased RPMs—up to approximately 2,000—suitable for maintaining position against strong currents or winds, such as when waiting for a bridge to open or holding alongside a mooring. This versatility allows operators to adapt the system to varying environmental conditions.
System Integration and Safety Features
From a builder's perspective, installing the Stern Drive Joystick requires no hull modifications, as only the internal components are changed. The system independently controls each outdrive, which raises concerns about alignment after use. However, the joystick and engines automatically center the outdrives when turned off, ensuring the vessel is ready for conventional operation without manual adjustment. This automatic centering enhances both safety and convenience.
Conclusion
The Volvo Penta Stern Drive Joystick offers significant improvements in maneuverability for boats with stern drives, especially in tight quarters. Its progressive control, dual power settings, and safety features make it a practical addition for operators seeking enhanced handling capabilities without structural modifications to their vessels. Captain Steve's assessment confirms that this technology brings joystick functionality to smaller boats, improving docking ease and overall control.
