BRP has teamed up with SeaStar Solutions (formerly Teleflex) to offer a joystick control system for Evinrude outboards. The system is an adaptation of the SeaStar Optimus 360 joystick control that allows it to function with the BRP/Evinrude ICON digital throttle-and-shift remote control. It will be offered for any Evinrude V6 outboard model, but only for boats running twin engines. BRP debuted the system at the 2013 Miami International Boat Show, installed on a 32-foot 7-inch Andros Offshore 32 powered by a pair of Evinrude E-TEC 250 motors. We reported on the introduction of the Optimus 360 system at the 2012 Miami show, and the version that will be offered for Evinrude motors uses the same power steering helm and SeaStar Smart Cylinder steering rams, which are equipped with magnetic sensors that feed steering position data back to the electronic control module (ECM) that manages the system. The key difference is that the BRP system replaces the digital-to-cable throttle/shift actuator used on the original Optimus 360 with an interface to the BRP ICON control. For safety reasons, that ICON control uses its own electronic protocol, rather than the NMEA standard common to most other marine electronics, which is built into this version of the Optimus 360 system and makes it specific to Evinrude motors.

Discovering Sicily: A Land of History, Flavor, and Beauty Sicily, the largest island in the Mediterranean, is a jewel waiting to be explored. With its stunning coastline, ancient ruins, and rich cultural tapestry, this Italian island offers something for every traveler. From the Greek temples of Agrigento to the Baroque streets of Noto, Sicily tells the story of civilizations that have come and gone, leaving behind architectural wonders and timeless charm. Mount Etna, Europe’s tallest active volcano, looms over the island, offering adventurous hikes and breathtaking views. The cuisine of Sicily is just as unforgettable. Fresh seafood, savory arancini (stuffed rice balls), and sweet cannoli showcase the island’s culinary excellence. Don’t forget to sip on a glass of Marsala wine as you enjoy the sunset over the sea. Whether you’re wandering through Palermo’s bustling markets, soaking up the sun in Cefalù, or exploring the hidden corners of Syracuse, Sicily promises an experience like no other. It’s a place where history, nature, and flavor come together in perfect harmony—an island you’ll long to return to.
