Joystick 2 Directions for Tunnels Thrusters (Black)

The Max Power Joystick 2 Directions (Black) is a modern control panel designed specifically for tunnel thruster systems. Developed by Max Power, this joystick delivers precise port and starboard thrust control through a simplified, intuitive interface.

Its compact design and responsive joystick mechanism provide smooth manoeuvring during docking and close-quarters operations. The elegant total-black finish integrates seamlessly into contemporary helm stations while maintaining a professional marine-grade appearance.

Design & User Interface

This joystick features a refined combination of matte and glossy finishes, giving it a clean and premium look.

The simplified interface includes:

• One activation button

• A responsive 2-direction joystick

• Clear directional feedback

This configuration reduces operational complexity and allows effortless handling, whether manoeuvring in tight marinas or performing fine docking adjustments.

Integrated Construction & LED Feedback

The panel is built with a sleek unified body, eliminating separate clip-on covers for improved durability and a streamlined appearance.

Integrated LED status indicators provide clear visual confirmation of system activity, helping maintain control awareness while keeping the cockpit clean and stylish.

High-quality metallic buttons with elegant LED rings enhance durability and offer a refined visual detail suitable for modern yachts and motorboats.

Marine-Grade Protection

Engineered for demanding marine environments, this joystick carries an IP67 protection rating, ensuring reliable performance under exposure to spray, humidity and harsh weather conditions.

The shorter joystick knob design minimises accidental thrust activation — particularly beneficial for sailing yachts and compact helm stations where space is limited.

Safety & Responsible Manoeuvring

Precise thruster control is essential for safe docking and harbour manoeuvres. Proper visibility, controlled thrust input and reliable onboard equipment significantly reduce the risk of vessel damage or crew injury.

For enhanced onboard protection during docking operations, we recommend equipping your vessel with certified marine safety equipment available in our dedicated Safety Equipment category at Gaelix Marine Service. Our range includes SOLAS-approved lifejackets, emergency signalling devices and professional-grade safety systems.
