The VC30 from YANMAR Marine International is a third-generation Vessel Control System with advanced design and functionality, featuring a high-quality display and newly designed precision-engineered joystick. It delivers simplified installation, a modern appearance, and seamless integration with YANMAR’s full range of common rail engines, transmissions, and controls

Designed to simplify throttle control and docking in one integrated system, whilst making it easier to view data and create a seamless dashboard, the full control system is enhanced by a high-quality display and modern design. It includes a larger, 4.3” 1000cd optically bonded screen, to reduce reflection and improve readability, with NMEA2000 output. The display unit has an auto dimming function for dark conditions at night, always ensuring effective lighting and a better boat operating experience.

Both the control heads and switch panels have been enhanced with a new design to maintain a unified look and feel across all elements of the controls, with improved water resistance and natural feel push buttons. 

With fewer components and the need for only one ECU, installation is quicker than previous editions, and the system is easier to maintain with improved GUI for easier configuration and control. 

The VC30 also offers dedicated joystick controls, compatible with bow thrusters from sister company, VETUS for simplified docking and better maneuvering in tight waterways. This joystick control function is available for both sterndrive and inboard applications. 

It has been developed for single, twin, and triple engines and is compatible with YANMAR’s HVO-approved common rail engines, from its JH-CR series (from 40mhp) through to the 6LT series (up to 640mhp). This makes the VC30 suitable for a wide variety of vessel types and sizes. It is especially effective for sailing yachts up to 75 feet, motorboats up to 60 feet, and sailing multihulls.
