Current Trends Influencing the Boat Steering System Industry
Prominent companies are heavily investing in innovative steering products to stay competitive. One of the key trends is the introduction of joystick-based controls for single-engine vessels, which unify throttle, shift, and steering functions into a single ergonomic interface. This integration improves ease of operation and vessel maneuverability.
For example, in February 2024, Mercury Marine launched a Joystick Steering system specifically for single-engine boats. Compatible with its Verado V8/V10/V12 outboard motors ranging from 250 to 600 horsepower, this system enables one-handed control of throttle, shift, and steering. It also supports proportional forward and reverse movement, twist-steering functionality, and provides autopilot features such as Heading and Route control when paired with a multifunction display.
