Get a Handle on Maneuverability<br />
Sea Ray offers joystick propulsion systems on almost all of our Yacht models, providing owners<br />
with more carefree boating than ever before. Each technology has been thoroughly tested and<br />
sea-trialed, ensuring control with confidence.<br />
With Zeus, multidirectional thrust is provided by twin Cummins MerCruiser Diesel<br />
(CMD) inboards and independent, rear-facing pod drives. The joystick controlling the<br />
system is touch-sensitive for intuitive docking, and the drives convert considerable<br />
performance for faster speeds and improved fuel efficiency. Rear-facing pod<br />
drives offer distinct advantages over forward-facing ones because they are<br />
protected by the gear case and skeg, thereby enhancing safety.<br />
The Joystick Maneuvering System (JMS) from ZF Marine is a<br />
proportional control system for vessels equipped with traditional<br />
inboard engines. Using a computer that interfaces with the<br />
transmissions, rudders and thrusters, JMS provides the same ease<br />
of control as pod drives, making maneuvers like sideways tracking<br />
and 360-degree rotations effortless.<br />
Both Zeus and JMS are available with “electronic anchors” that can maintain a<br />
vessel at a fixed position at the push of a button, even in the presence of strong<br />
wind and current. These functions — called Skyhook® (standard) and Hold<br />
Position (optional), respectively — are ideal for use while waiting at a closed<br />
bridge or busy fuel dock. *Never allow swimmers in the water around the<br />
vessel while Skyhook or Hold Position is engaged.<br />
