Keyless access

Modernize Control: Keyless is the Way to Go

The keycard unlocks the throttle lever and starts your vessel with a simple touch. With no physical key to handle, startup stays quick, clean, and consistent.

Secure startup

The NFC-enabled keycard makes startup simple while adding an extra security layer at the helm.

Side-mount left and right option

Left or right-side option

Compatible with different helm configurations, it can be mounted on a side panel or a center console.

Side-mount trim control

Trim control (optional)

Thumb-operated buttons on the lever let the operator adjust propeller angle directly from the control position.

Customisation

Tailor the throttle lever to the vessel and the brand

Beyond standard configuration choices, the side-mount can be adapted visually and functionally for the project. This includes aluminium finishes and branding details.

If a project needs something more specific, we can also discuss functional adaptations and define a solution around the exact helm concept, or vessel identity.

FAQ

Side-mount operation and integration

Practical answers about mounting options, trim control, keyless access, and propulsion control integration.

Throttle lever basics

Is it intended only for NT Systems propulsion?

No. Throttle lever is not limited to NT Systems propulsion and can also be used with other propulsion types, provided the integration is possible.

What types of vessels are the throttle levers suitable for?

The top-mount and side-mount throttle levers can be used in both retrofit and newbuild projects, for leisure as well as professional vessels.

How should we choose between top-mount and side-mount throttle levers?

The choice mainly depends on the helm layout, number of motors, and station concept. Both options are ready for electric propulsion and can be adapted to project-specific control requirements.

What communication options are available?

The throttle levers communicate via CAN bus. The top-mount model is available with optional dual CAN, where port and starboard can communicate on separate networks.

Are single/twin lever, multi-station, and multiple-motor setups supported?

Yes. Top-mount model supports single and twin lever variants, integration with multiple-motor setup, and both models support single or multi-station installations. In multi-station configurations, switching the active control station is straightforward, but it follows a defined protocol so that handover between stations remains safe, clear, and predictable.

What does adjustable friction and detent mean?

Adjustable friction allows the resistance of the lever movement to be tuned, so the feel can be lighter or firmer. A detent is a physical “click” or defined position in the lever movement, helping the operator feel important positions such as neutral or gear engagement without looking at the control.

Do both models support multiple detents?

Yes. Both models can support multiple detents, including neutral, forward, and reverse. The exact detent logic can be defined based on project requirements.

What is the DOCK feature?

The DOCK feature reduces throttle sensitivity, making docking and low-speed manoeuvring easier. The behavior can also be adjusted according to the client’s specification.

What is keyless access and start?

A secure NFC feature replaces the conventional key and switch. The NFC keycard becomes the key. Simply hold it near the throttle lever's keypad and the system unlocks.

Can top-mount and side-mount be mixed in one vessel?

Yes. This is possible with a single-motor setup, using the top-mount single variant and side-mount model.

Side-mount model

Is trim control available?

Yes. Trim control is available with the side-mount model and can be included where required.

Can side-mount be configured for left or right installation?

Yes. Side-mount is available in left- and right-side versions to match helm layout and mounting constraints.
