MerCruiser Axius Piloting System

MerCruiser Axius not only makes docking simple and stress-free, it also offers several advanced piloting technologies that make your entire boating experience better. Our exclusive joystick puts throttle, shift, and steering right at your fingertips, with our award-winning Digital Throttle & Shift (DTS) system for amazing maneuverability and intuitive control. In addition, twin multiport fuel-injected engines with Bravo Three sterndrives offer outstanding performance and efficiency. When you add it all up, Axius does it all, so you can keep your mind on more important things – like your next destination.

Axius System

For even easier piloting, upgrade to Axius Premier which includes a control touch pad and VesselView LCD display. An integrated electronic compass and dedicated GPS system can provide incredible joystick control with these additional features:

  • Auto Heading to maintain your heading with the push of a button
  • Waypoint Tracking for multiple point-to-point autopilot when mated with an electronic chart plotter
  • Skyhook™ electronic anchor, which holds your boat in position at the touch of a button, regardless of wind or current

Please note that some of these features may or may not be implemented by the boat builder. Please contact your boat builder for details on which features they support on your model.
