By moving the joystick astern both engines are switched to the rear.
Moving the joystick to the left makes both (if installed) thrusters move the boat to
port.
Moving the joystick to the right makes both thrusters move the boat to starboard.
In case the boat has 2 engines and only a bow thruster, moving the joystick
sideways will engage the bow thruster and 2 engines in order to walk the boat
sideways.
Moving the joystick forwards and right in a 45º angle causes the port engine to go
forward and makes the boat steer to the right.
The other 45º angle positions on the joystick work on the same basis.
The Dockmate Twist can be fully programmed by your dealer so that combining
engines and thrusters in any position of the joystick is possible.
Twisting the joystick knob clockwise causes the boat to rotate clockwise (port
engine switched forward, starboard engine switched astern).
Twisting the joystick knob counter clockwise will do the opposite.
Pressing the knob of the joystick will sound the horn.
When a “SpeedCtrl” Module is installed in the Dockmate Receiver you can
control the engines throttle by moving the joystick. The harder you push,
the more throttle.
When the thruster modules with SpeedCtrl are installed in the Dockmate
Receiver you can control the thrusters’ power by moving the joystick. The
harder you push, the more thrust.
