ZF Joystick JMS

ZF Joystick Maneuvering System (JMS™)

Simplified vessel handling through the ZF joystick control

The ZF Joystick JMS™ allows the captains of twin-engine motor yachts, cruisers, and sportfishing boats, with traditional shaft-line propulsion to easily maneuver the vessel in complex docking situations. Interfaced with the ZF SmartCommand™ electronic control system, ZF JMS™ integrates sophisticated functions like iAnchor™ to keep the vessel on station at a given position, with the press of a button.

Advantages

Joystick vessel control at low speed
Easy maneuvering in tight spaces through joystick interface
Keeps vessel automatically in position against wind and current
Works with traditional propeller shaft-line systems

Joystick Manoeuvring System (JMS™)

Controlling engines, transmissions, and thrusters in a traditional shaft-line vessel, ZF JMS provides the same ease of control as expected from pod drive systems.

Maneuvers such as moving sideways to the dock, 360° rotation on the spot, and other complicated maneuvers, difficult with standard control levers, become easy operations. The electronic JMS system also controls the throttle of the engines and shifts the transmissions to provide the precise speed needed for smooth maneuvering and easy docking. This means driving a pleasure craft becomes even more pleasurable, simple, and safe!

Function

It is possible to install up to 6 joystick stations enabling maneuvering of the boat from any location.

JMS, with all its options, can be retrofitted in existing vessels with an electronic engine interface, ZF transmissions, and SmartCommand control systems.

JMS can interface with many markets available DC or hydraulic bow thrusters.
