• Trawler Forum Classified Posting Guidelines
    • We expect ads placed to be related to the topic of this forum.
    • Ads that are inactive for 180 days or longer may be moved to the Classified Archive and locked. Ads may be relisted if the item is still current. Alternatively, owners may contact a Moderator to reinstate an archived ad.
    • The Classified section is for advertising, members are asked to refrain from posting discussions to a Classified Ad. Please start a discussion thread or PM the owner for discussions.
    • Do not hijack another member's ad by posting unsolicited commentary. Example: if a member has posted an ad offering an anchor for sale, don't add a post to his thread stating that you have an anchor you'd like to get rid of also. Posts deemed as unsolicited commentary may be removed.
    • For your own security, do NOT include your e-mail or phone number in your ad. Instead request that interested parties contact you via PM (private message) to provide owners contact info.
    • Brokers, Dealers, or those with a commercial interest in a sale are prohibited from posting in Classifieds.
    • Only Trawler Forum Commercial Members may post ads in the Commercial section. You must be a designated Commercial Member to start threads in this section of the forum. (Contact a moderator if you have questions about this)
    • Don't post links to commercial sites where you are also offering the boat, such as eBay, Craigslist or Yachtworld, etc. unless it contains a more in-depth description, additional information or pictures.
    • Place only one ad per item (you may repost only when your ad has expired and been removed).
    For Sale ads MUST include:
    • Asking price
    • Location
    • A Basic Description
    • Clear statement whether you are the owner or non-owner (posting for friend, relative, or acquaintance)
    • Don't forget to select: FOR SALE, WANTED or FREE in the Title block.
    All ads should also include ALL the following:
    • Pertinent maintenance and condition information
    • Exterior picture or pictures
    • Interior picture or pictures (boats)
    For maximum impact & exposure, it is suggested the Ad Title include: Year, Manufacturer, Model, Length, Price, and Location or at the very top of the ad body. When your item has sold or the ad is no longer relevant: Please post a Reply to the ad that the item is SOLD or click "Report Post" on post 1 of the thread to ask a moderator to archive the ad. Ads may be moved or removed by our staff at any time for any reason. All ads must comply with site rules. Thanks for your cooperation.
  • Avoid Scams.

    Our classifieds are free and anyone registered here is welcome to post an ad.
    Be aware that there are unscrupulous folks out there. Avoid any interaction that seems odd to you or �feels� wrong. Inquiries from unknown buyers, buyers �agents� and other non-traditional approaches should be treated with extreme caution.

    Beware of unsolicited contacts offering to put you in touch with someone else who is buying or selling via e-mail or text.

    Do not post your e-mail address or phone number in a classifieds ad.

    Hints that you may be dealing with a Scammer:
    • Seller or Buyer approaches you via a direct email or PM and then steers you to an off-site communication method (text or email).
    • No posts or very few forum posts.
    • Recent forum membership
    • Insists on conducting negotiations via email or text rather than PM
    • Requires payment via Bank Transfer, BitCoin/CryptoCurrency, WesternUnion or other unsecured method.
    • Buyer or Seller suggests Paypal "Friends and Family" payment. Paypal is a good way to arrange payment but an invoice for goods and services should be used rather than "Friends and Family". "Friends and Family" avoids fees BUT there is no recourse if the transaction runs aground. Friends and Family is for gifts only. There is no protection for Friends and Family transactions, so never ever use it to buy something.
    • Declines to allow viewing the item before proceeding with the transaction.

Looking for a SidePower Joystick like this. I think the joystick will be easier to use without having to look down to find the right button.

If you didn't care about having an "official" panel, you could just wire your two LEFT-RIGHT pushbuttons to each side of a momentary (ON)-OFF-(ON) toggle switch.

If you wired them in parallel, you could even keep the existing switches there for backup.

One google search example (there are ALL KINDS of options):

(ON)-OFF-(ON) Toggle Switch

Check with eBay. When I had mine for sale on eBay, there were 4 other new controllers listed.

Mine sold for $130 plus shipping.

Yacht Thruster part number 8960Y

Side Power and Yacht Thruster is the same company and parts are interchangeable
Side power model number for the joystick is 8960Y, 8960X and so on but the same unit
The joystick is manufactured by Sleipner Motor AS, Norway

I should have been more explicit, I am trying to find one "pre-owned" rather than paying the brand new price. I want to replace the push-button model and fit the same space so I really want the one I have in the picture. Todd, if you will have one in a few weeks, I'd be interested in just one of them.

I was too slow when you had that one for sale...:facepalm:
 
I happen to have one, sadly it is on the boat in Canada and they won't let me in. If you are still looking next spring, contact me. It was removed when the dual stick control was put in for the stern thruster.

If you have a Canadian boatwatch, perhaps they can ship it down...

Thanks DDW, I may take you up on it if I don't have one by then.
 
Just be aware that the Side-Power Touch Panel came in two models. One was a 2" cutout (standard instrument size) which meant 2" round hole. The other was a larger square hole. The 2" standard instrument will not mount in the larger square cutout.

Be careful what you buy.
 
Thank you for all the help, I did find a used one from a TF member.
