Simplified vessel handling through joystick control
The ZF JMS™ allows the captains of twin-engine motor yachts, cruisers, and sport fishing boats, with traditional shaft-line propulsion to easily maneuver the vessel in complex docking situations. Interfaced with the ZF SmartCommand™ electronic control system, ZF JMS™ integrates sophisticated functions like iAnchor™ to keep the vessel on station at a given position, with the press of a button.
Advantages
Joystick vessel control at low speed
Easy maneuvering in tight spaces through joystick interface
Keeps vessel automatically in position against wind and current
Works with traditional propeller shaft-line systems
Function
It is possible to install up to 6 joystick stations enabling maneuvering of the boat from any location.
JMS, with all its options, can be retrofitted in existing vessels with electronic engine interface, ZF transmissions and SmartCommand control systems.
JMS can interface with many market available DC or hydraulic bow thrusters.
