The
JetMaster Joystick is a competitively priced full-featured
waterjet propulsion control system based on a Programmable Logic Controller (PLC)
and proprietary software developed by Ultra Dynamics for
waterjet propulsion.
The system offers many features previously only available on
more expensive systems.
Easy and logical to use, even inexperienced or infrequent boat users
can maneuver the boat like a professional. One-hand close quarter maneuvering gives total control of
your boat. Docking and backing into a slip is simple with
same-sense steering, just push the joystick in the direction you
wish the boat to move.
The JetMaster Joystick is compatible with Ultra’s jet-mounted
and remote hydraulic systems.
Ultra’s joystick control is available for all UltraJet models.

When wheel
steering is required with joystick control, manual hydraulic,
hydraulic power-assisted steering, or electrohydraulic steering
using a wheel or lever actuated electronic helm, are available
from Ultra Dynamics. The steering of twin-jets in monohulls is
typically synchronized with a mechanical tie-bar. Optional
electronically-synchronized steering is available for twin-jets
in monohulls and for catamarans. |
