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.
After being left to rot in Dublin Bay Jabberwocky was in a very sorry state. Once out of the water we could see how bad things where with half the the gelcoat on the bottom of the yacht disappearing as the power hose removed the build up of marine life from the bottom of the boat. After a quick delivery trip up the east coast of Ireland Jabberwocky sat in idle for a couple of year before the team at Bottom Up Boats acquired with a plan to bring her back to her former glory. After stripping her back to bare fibreglass the team meticulously repaired and restored every inch of this Mumm 36.
