Lewmar 589267 Dual Joystick Thruster Control Gen2 Product Description
Master precise maneuvering on the water with the Lewmar Dual Joystick Thruster Control Gen2. This advanced controller transforms how you handle your vessel, especially in tight marinas or tricky docking situations. Designed for boaters who demand intuitive control, it delivers responsive feedback that feels natural, letting you glide effortlessly without the guesswork of traditional setups.
Whether you're upgrading from older systems or installing fresh, this Gen2 model integrates seamlessly into your setup, enhancing safety and confidence during low-speed operations. Its rugged build stands up to harsh marine environments, ensuring reliable performance season after season.
Standout Features for Superior Control
The Dual Joystick setup shines in multi-thruster systems, allowing simultaneous bow and stern adjustments for true 360-degree control. Here's what sets it apart:
- Ergonomic Multi-Axis Pad: Provides instant tactile response, mimicking the feel of a video game controller for effortless side-to-side and forward-reverse movements.
- Sealed Membrane Switches: Fully protected against saltwater spray, dust, and everyday wear, keeping controls crisp even after years of exposure.
- Versatile Voltage Handling: Operates smoothly on both 12V and 24V systems, ideal for a wide range of vessels from smaller yachts to larger cruisers.
- Smart LED Diagnostics: Illuminates to show deployment status, active thruster operation, low battery alerts, overheating warnings, and any system faults—troubleshooting at a glance without needing extra tools.
- Removable Protective Cover: Shields against accidental bumps while mooring or during storage, with easy snap-off access for quick use.
Why Dual Joystick Control Elevates Your Boating Experience
Single thrusters handle basic corrections, but dual setups unlock full potential. With two joysticks, you command both bow and stern thrusters independently, pivoting your boat on a dime or holding position against wind and current. Boaters report docking times cut in half, reduced stress in crowded harbors, and smoother guest-carrying cruises.
The Gen2's refined ergonomics reduce hand fatigue during extended maneuvers, while the multi-function display keeps you informed—preventing overloads or battery drains that could strand you. It's not just control; it's peace of mind on the water.
Effortless Installation for Quick Upgrades
Boat owners love the hassle-free fit. No need to drill new holes or access tight spaces behind panels—the controller slots into existing Lewmar joystick cutouts. A snap-on bezel conceals screws for a clean, professional finish.
For retrofits, the included upgrade kit bridges to prior-generation controllers. Compatible with Lewmar TT, RT, SRT, and VRT thrusters featuring a blue control box (or black box via adapter), it's plug-and-play for most setups. Pro tip: Test the system in open water post-install to familiarize with the responsive pad and calibrate your instincts.
Quick Steps:
- Power off and disconnect thruster system.
- Remove old controller if upgrading.
- Drop in the new unit and secure with snap-on bezel.
- Wire to 12-24V supply and connect to thruster boxes.
- Snap on the cover and power up—LEDs confirm readiness.
Perfect Match for Your Thruster System
Tailored for Lewmar's blue-box thrusters across TT, RT, SRT, and VRT lines, this controller expands options for dual-station helm setups or multi-thruster boats. The adapter for black-box models ensures broad compatibility, making it a smart choice for fleet upgrades or custom builds.
Consider pairing with proportional thrusters for variable speed control, maximizing the joystick's precision in varying conditions like strong crosswinds or tidal flows.
Long-Lasting Performance with Simple Care
Keep it running like new by rinsing with fresh water after saltwater exposure and inspecting LEDs during routine checks. The sealed design minimizes maintenance, but clearing debris from the pad ensures optimal tactile feedback. In cold climates, store with the cover on to prevent icing.
