The kit is built for a straightforward swap: it reuses the existing boat wiring already run to the old controller, so there is no need to re-pull cable runs through the helm or dash to complete the upgrade. The new controller must be installed next to the existing controller location as part of the upgrade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis upgrade path is intended for boat owners and installers looking to modernize the helm control of a Lewmar bow or stern thruster system without replacing the underlying thruster or Black Box control unit. The kit is manufactured by Lewmar, a company that has produced marine hardware, windlasses, hydraulics, and thruster systems since 1946, with products ranging from small day boats to large yachts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lewmar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e 589867\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Joystick Controller Upgrade Kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC:\u003c\/strong\u003e 743683033858\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.98125 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.89 x 6.46 x 6.34 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFitment\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFits Lewmar thruster systems equipped with a previous-generation controller and a Black Box control module.
