Product catalog summary
Overview of the Twin Disc Express Joystick System® (EJS™)
The Twin Disc Express Joystick System® (EJS™) is designed to revolutionize docking and slow-speed maneuvering for diesel-powered, conventional driveline boats. It integrates the Twin Disc QuickShift® transmission with EC300 electronic controls, offering precise and intuitive control over vessel direction and speed.

Key Features
  • QuickShift Transmission: Utilizes proprietary technology for instantaneous and smooth clutch engagement, allowing shockless shifting between gears.
  • EC300 Controls: Provides unparalleled slow-speed control with familiar lever heads, enabling precise maneuvering.
  • Joystick Control: Offers intuitive fingertip control for directional maneuvering, allowing the boat to move in any direction with ease.
  • Thruster Integration: Adds thruster control to enhance slow-speed capabilities and directional maneuverability.

Benefits
  • Enhances safety, comfort, and driveline protection by eliminating lurching and clunking during gear shifts.
  • Facilitates easier and less stressful docking and maneuvering in tight spaces.
  • Provides instant access to full or incremental power in any direction, with propeller control down to 50 rpm.

Application and Availability
The EJS is intended for new builds rather than retrofits, as it requires programming specific to the boat's performance characteristics. It is available exclusively on Twin Disc QuickShift/EC300-equipped boats from select builders.

Conclusion
The Twin Disc EJS system offers an intuitive and responsive solution for boat operators, making it an essential feature for those seeking enhanced control and maneuverability in their vessels.

Express Joystick System-1

the twin disc express joystick system Built on proven technology At the core of the Twin Disc Express Joystick System is the Twin Disc QuickShift transmission with EC300 electronic controls. ® The QuickShift transmission possesses proprietary technology that allows instantaneous but gradual loading of the clutch to provide various and infinite degrees of engagement — all in a matter of milliseconds. This remarkable capability permits shockless shifting from neutral to forward or reverse, or even from full forward to full reverse. No more lurching, lugging, clunking of the driveline and the boat as it goes in and out of gear. The QuickShift transmission’s ability to shift so quickly, smoothly and reliably in any direction makes possible the application of joystick control to conventional driveline systems. It enhances safety, comfort, enjoyment and driveline protection. Add the Twin Disc EC300 controls featuring Express mode and you now have unparalleled slow speed control using familiar lever heads. This Twin Disc QuickShift transmission with EC300 controls is a precision maneuvering system proven for years on pleasure craft, sport fishers, tugs, push boats, crew boats, patrol boats — wherever slow speed operation is critical. In Express mode, each lever lets you instantaneously and shocklessly shift from forward to reverse and control prop speed down to 50 rpm while maintaining most efficient engine rpm. You can more accurately and comfortably maneuver the boat under all slow speed conditions by just using the control levers. They are that precise, responsive and intuitive.
