MARINE PROPULSION CONTROL SYSTEM
Smarter Control for Every Vessel
Marine Jet Power’s control systems are engineered to deliver instant response, smooth maneuvering and complete command of any waterjet-driven vessel. From high-speed military craft and commercial workboats to premium yachts, our marine propulsion control systems provide intuitive handling, advanced steering logic and seamless integration with all MJP waterjets.
With options including marine joystick control, yacht controllers, combinator steering, and intelligent software modes, our systems give operators absolute precision – whether docking in tight marinas, holding position offshore or navigating at high speeds.
Jetmaster 3 Control System
Jetmaster 3 is designed to deliver optimized performance to the captain. The system integrates advanced control logic that manages steering, bucket, and engine interface for the most capable control experience available. This unified design ensures smooth acceleration, stable course-keeping and precise movement even in challenging conditions.
KEY CAPABILITIES:
MJP Control Systems
MJP OFFERS THREE CONTROL HEAD OPTIONS
Thrust Vector
CSU or DRB
Operated with a steering tiller and thrust vector handler. This steering logic works by computer calculations of vectors to make desired movements in two different modes: slow speed maneuvering and underway operations. The steering tiller controls steering when underway and rotation during slow speed maneuvering.
Remote VCS
All MJP Waterjet Systems
Remote VCS is a portable control station that enables flexible vessel maneuvering. It is compatible with all Marine Jet Power waterjet systems, and can be delivered as either a wired or wireless solution, depending on vessel configuration and operational needs.
Combinator Steering
X-Series, UltraJet, DRB
Best option for split duct reversing buckets. Combinator controls the engine RPM and bucket movement determining thrust, neutral, forward and reverse. Wheel, tiller and combinator, touch screen display, joystick, and command panel.
Azimuth
CSU
Best option for vessels with two or more jets for precision steering, bucket movement, and RPM control. Includes two Azimuth control heads, one for port and one for starboard control. Each can control 2 waterjets. Includes a touch screen display and a steering wheel, steering tiller. A command panel and/or joystick can be added on.

Intelligent Control Modes for Every Mission
MJP control systems come with advanced software options that enhance safety,
control and performance:
DYNAMIC POSITIONING
MJP’s DP0 system provides GPS positioning control to stay on spot, hold heading and virtual anchoring.
3RD PARTY DYNAMIC POSITIONING
MJP’s Jetmaster 3 software communicates with most 3rd party dynamic positioning systems.
UNMANNED / AUTONOMOUS MODE
Remotely access the Jetmaster 3 system through raw, calibrated, formatted & custom data types.
3RD PARTY BRIDGE INTEGRATION
A safe, secure, and firewalled method for 3rd party bridge systems to access and display waterjet data.
INTERCEPTOR INTEGRATION
Control your vessel’s interceptors, rudders, and/or fins. Both coordinated turn and steering assist modes.
VECTOR CONTROL SYSTEM
Gain precision control of harbor maneuvers and low speed positioning at sea. Idle RPM speed can easily be adjusted to increase responsiveness.
FISHING MODE
Troll, stop, accelerate, spin, and reverse the vessel with ease. Avoid water turbulence or entanglements of lines.
FIRE-FIGHTING MODE
Allows safe and convenient operation of fire-pumps connected to propulsion engines. Depending upon the vessel configuration, this allows engines to be shared between firefighting and propulsion.
Hybrid Integration & Dual Engine Control
Dual Engine Control enables seamless integration of hybrid or electric propulsion systems with Marine Jet Power waterjets. By providing a unified control interface, the system supports flexible driveline configurations and allows operators to manage multiple power sources efficiently. The solution is designed to integrate with third-party hybrid systems, with MJP responsible for the control interface between the driveline and the waterjets.

Software Options
FOR JETMASTER 3 CONTROLS
Virtual Anchor
In the Virtual Anchor mode an anchor point position is defined and the DP system will keep the vessel within the predetermined anchor line length and will point its heading towards the anchor point.
Stay on Spot and Hold Heading
In the Stay On Spot and Hold Heading mode the DP System will keep the vessel on the defined position and hold its heading.

Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT DOES A MARINE PROPULSION CONTROL SYSTEM DO?
A marine propulsion control system manages steering, throttle, bucket movement and overall thrust to give the operator full control of the vessel. With MJP’s Jetmaster controls, all inputs are combined into a smooth, coordinated response for precise handling at every speed.
CAN MJP CONTROLS BE INTEGRATED INTO EXISTING BOATS?
Absolutely. Many operators upgrade older propulsion setups with our modern boat controller systems, improving responsiveness, reducing operator workload and extending vessel lifetime. Our engineers support both new builds and retrofits.
ARE THE CONTROL SYSTEMS COMPATIBLE WITH HYBRID OR
ELECTRIC PROPULSION?
Yes. MJP’s controls are designed to work seamlessly with diesel, hybrid and fully electric drivetrains. The system manages power delivery and thrust smoothly, making it ideal for next-generation vessels.
WHAT BENEFITS DO JOYSTICK AND COMBINATOR CONTROLS OFFER?
Joystick and combinator systems provide precise movement, smoother acceleration and improved low-speed handling. The captain can maneuver the vessel sideways, pivot on the spot or adjust thrust instantly – ideal for tight marinas, offshore operations and high-performance craft.
