A couple of weeks ago I noticed a delay in my Side Power bow thruster reaction when I put it to port. Hmmm... I did what I normally do - ignore it, it will go away. Just like everything else I have used this theory on, it didn't. This past weekend it was worse. Had to jog the joystick back and forth a bit, push it hard to port, wait a second or two and then thruster would go full speed. Starboard seems ok although MAYBE a little slow as well. I read this as an electrical connection issue in the joystick. Getting old and worn out. Any reason I shouldn't think this? I'm pretty sure a new control will fix it so have ordered a new one but just thought I'd ask.
