Control Revolution For Wakeboard And Sport Boats!

Published: Thursday, July 25, 2019

Finally, an amazing and innovative solution to control wakeboard boats is available.

The new Yacht Thruster Easy Drive system – by the Yacht Group’s thruster division – solves control problems with a quick, compact, easy to install, and powerful stern thruster. With Easy Drive, a wakeboard or sport boat loaded with 10+ people and/or ballasted can make a 360 degree turn in a minute and can make a U-turn to pick up a swimmer in only 10 seconds, making it great for safety and great for fun!

The Easy Drive’s aluminum housing and rugged, sealed motor requires no maintenance and is capable of up to 10 minutes of continuous operation using the boat’s existing battery due to Easy Drive’s water-cooled housing and low battery draw. Easy Drive’s 16 in. height and 6 in. width makes it perfect for mounting either horizontally or vertically, on the shallowest of transoms, providing excellent performance and exceptional power for the heaviest of boats. Optional mounting brackets are available to fit all boats, as are cowlings to deflect water flow for optimal performance.

The Easy Drive is controlled by an illuminated joystick with the highest Ingress Protection rating available (IP69), making it completely protected from dust and water, even from close-range high-pressure spray downs. Its halo light ring illuminates to confirm it is on and, when used, the ring lights in color corresponding to the directional control.

The Easy Drive can also be controlled via a micro joystick, easily held in hand, or mounted on your gear shift control or your dash console. The micro joystick provides the user the ability to help control the boat when loading it on/off a trailer, AND has optional channels for additionally controlling a board rack, winch, or any other powered accessory.

A single installation, quickly completed with no special tools, and fully mounted in 4-5 hours, the system needs no additional battery either, making it the absolute choice regardless of your brand of wakeboard boat, sport yacht, center console, or similar boat. The Easy Drive is your answer for a cost effective and easy way to help you control your boat.
