The Lewmar Y-Shaped Connector is a specialized Y-cable designed to combine two thruster control stations into one Lewmar bow thruster system. This allows a captain or crew to operate the thruster from two separate helm positions (for example, an interior helm and a flybridge) seamlessly and without lag. Built with high-quality, marine-grade materials, the Y-connector is durable and resistant to saltwater and vibration, ensuring reliable performance in harsh marine environments. By providing synchronized control from both stations, it guarantees that commands from either controller are instantly relayed to the thruster, resulting in precise maneuvering and confident docking, even in tight quarters.
Installation is straightforward – simply plug the Y-shaped connector between the two control panels and the thruster’s main wiring harness. No complex setup or programming is required, making this accessory ideal both for new installations and retrofitting into existing systems.
- Use Case: Ideal for boats with dual helm stations, such as flybridge yachts or vessels with both indoor and outdoor helm controls
- Safety: Allows thruster operation from two locations for complex maneuvers (e.g., docking in currents), while maintaining synchronized inputs to prevent command conflicts
- Compatibility: Designed for Lewmar Blue Generation thruster controllers (single or dual joystick/joypad models, part codes 02.045.03/05/06) and corresponding Lewmar thruster systems
- Reliability: Marine-ready construction with corrosion-resistant connectors and sealed wiring to withstand moisture, salt, and heavy use
- Versatility: An excellent upgrade for any Lewmar thruster-equipped vessel that requires a second control station or a backup thruster control for improved handling
