Proportional Joystick for CT550 AC (Black)

The Max Power Proportional Joystick for CT550 AC is a dedicated control panel designed specifically for the CT550 AC tunnel thruster system. Developed by Max Power, this joystick offers precise proportional control, allowing smooth and adjustable thrust output for enhanced manoeuvring accuracy.

Unlike standard on/off systems, proportional control enables gradual thrust increase, delivering greater control during delicate docking operations and close-quarters manoeuvres.

Proportional Control & Advanced Features

This control panel includes intelligent safety and protection functions designed for reliable marine operation:

• Proportional thrust control for smooth power adjustment

• Childproof activation system

• Automatic shutdown after 10 minutes of inactivity

• Time-delay switching between port and starboard thrust

• Software protection against short circuits

• Hold function for controlled operation

The LED indicator arc provides clear visual feedback on thrust intensity and system status, enhancing situational awareness during operation.

Designed for Professional Helm Integration

The joystick features a compact, modern design suitable for premium yacht installations. The black finish integrates cleanly into contemporary helm stations while maintaining a professional marine-grade appearance.

Its ergonomic control mechanism ensures comfortable and precise handling, even during extended docking procedures.

Compatibility

• Designed exclusively for Max Power CT550 AC tunnel thrusters

• Suitable for AC thruster installations

• Must be paired with compatible Max Power electronic control systems

⚠️ Not compatible with standard DC tunnel thrusters or retractable series.

Safety & Responsible Manoeuvring

Proportional thruster control significantly improves docking precision, reducing abrupt thrust application and minimising stress on both the vessel and marina infrastructure.
