Volvo Penta EVC Joystick?

sfgeno

Hello everyone! Just bought and received my 2014 310 EC with all the preferred options but now I have one regret!!! I want the Joystick option with the existing Volvo Penta EVC system. Have anyone added one on after purchasing a newer vessel??? Thanks in advance....

funny you mention this,  this week, I am installing the Volvo Penta IPS joystick into my boat.  It already has the IPS pods, so it is a pretty straightforward install of just the Joystick, connecting cables and software..
Here is the problem though. 
The joystick alone, is $3400
cables are roughly $100-200
but the software from Volvo, is about $7000.
Check on Ebay, sometimes the actual joysticks themselves are sold NOS/NIB for much less. however, you will be VERY fortunate if you find the downloads from Volvo for anything less than what I said above.
Good Luck !!
