Apollo Project

19.06.2007 nauCAT

Technical details
Producer:	Mercury Marine (USA)

The Apollo system uses an intuitive joystick control that enables the boat to travel sideways as well as forward and aft. This provides the captain with precise turning and tight maneuvering control when docking a boat. The joystick technology utilized with the Apollo system is identical to Mercury’s Zeus propulsion system.
The difference—and it’s a big one—is that the Apollo is intended for dual-installation, gasoline sterndrive-powered boats between 28 and 38 feet. This covers a huge chunk of the boating market.
Mercury is keeping a lid on specific information about the Apollo until it is announced publicly, which should take place before the end of the year, according to Mercury spokesman Erik Pope. At that time, Mercury will tell us when we can expect to see the Apollo drive become available to consumers.
MerCruiser unveiled the new product at a special press event June 11-13 in Sarasota, FL. A 31-foot express cruiser was outfitted with the Apollo system for press demonstrations.
