A simple movement of your hand lets the Yacht Controller JCS simultaneously operate the engines and bow and stern thrusters, enabling you to move your boat in any direction. This plug-and-play system installs without any invasive and costly work in the engine room, and doesn’t require cables to be run along the length of the boat.

Yacht Controller JCS operates in automatic and manual modes. In automatic mode, the engines and the thrusters work simultaneously. In manual mode, the thrusters can be activated as required, either together with the motors or separately, for better control of the maneuver you want to perform.

The control panel’s LCD screen, visible in sunlight, shows a clear and practical graphic of the boat, indicating the engines and thrusters, and showing you exactly what is activated during your maneuvers. The JCS panel interfaces with digital electronic throttle controls to manage acceleration, with different settings depending on the percentage of acceleration selected and its run time. The windlass (single or double) allows the JCS to control the weighing and lowering functions. It can also be integrated to allow retrieval at standard speed during weighing of the anchor up to the last 10 feet of chain, slowing down progressively to retrieve the anchor at minimum speed. The system stops the anchor when it’s totally weighed. Visit or call 888.898.8608 for pricing.
