Quick Nautical Equipment offers a comprehensive range of thrusters specifically designed to seamlessly integrate with Mercury's single-engine and multi-engine Joystick Piloting systems. To facilitate this integration, Quick Nautical Equipment has developed a gateway that allows communication between its Proportional Control Systems (PCS) and Mercury’s protocols. This means that control of QNE thrusters can be achieved directly through Mercury’s maneuvering joysticks. Moreover, this system can be retrofitted onto existing Quick Nautical Equipment installations, provided that the PCS is either already in place or will be installed.
