Quick Group, a global leader in developing advanced systems and delivering comprehensive pre- and after-sales services for yachts and superyachts, is pleased to announce a significant and strategic partnership between its iconic and trusted Quick Nautical Equipment brand and Mercury Marine, officially unveiled at the Miami International Boat Show 2025.

Quick Nautical Equipment has played a pivotal role in shaping some of the most essential marine products available today on the market. From the very beginning, the brand has set industry standards, pioneering innovations that have since become benchmarks in the marine sector. Recognized for its exceptional reliability and technological advancements, Quick Nautical Equipment has earned a reputation for excellence in many different fields, from anchoring systems to water heaters, through bow thrusters, inverters, battery chargers, and much more.

Its extensive portfolio includes a wide range of products – special mention goes to the broad selection of bow thrusters – each meticulously designed and engineered to deliver superior performance and durability. Let’s not forget the major innovations the brand has introduced in this field, being among the first to launch models powered by IP68 synchronous motors with an integrated driver, capable of ensuring unlimited continuous proportional operation.

Starting now, Quick Nautical Equipment’s thrusters are officially compatible with the Mercury Joystick Piloting system. This partnership with Mercury Marine marks a significant step forward in enhancing boat maneuverability and control. By integrating Quick Nautical Equipment’s advanced bow thrusters with Mercury’s Joystick Piloting system, boaters will experience even greater precision, responsiveness, and ease of handling.

As a matter of fact, Quick Nautical Equipment provides a comprehensive selection of compatible thrusters designed to integrate seamlessly with Mercury’s single-engine and multi-engine Joystick Piloting systems.

Quick Nautical Equipment (QNE) has specifically developed a gateway that enables seamless integration between its Proportional Control Systems – PCS and Mercury’s protocols, allowing control of QNE thrusters through Mercury’s maneuvering joysticks. This system can also be retrofitted onto existing Quick Nautical Equipment installations, provided that the PCS is already in place or that it will be installed.

This integration improves precision and control during low-speed maneuvers, providing customers with a superior boating experience.

The ongoing commitment to excellence ensures that Quick Nautical Equipment remains at the forefront of marine innovation, delivering solutions that endure over time while elevating the overall boating experience.

These accomplishments are also made possible through strategic partnerships with top global industry leaders, as seen in this case, further advancing the integration of cutting-edge technologies.
