JPI already works with Vetus thrusters out of the box, but Side Power units need this harness to “speak the same language.” Each thruster gets its own adapter, keeping the wiring straightforward and the control signals clean. It’s a simple add-on that gives you more flexibility when choosing thruster equipment for an inboard setup.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"560\" data-end=\"563\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"565\" data-end=\"978\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"565\" data-end=\"581\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"581\" data-end=\"584\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"587\" data-end=\"617\"\u003eSide Power Adapter Harness\u003c\/strong\u003e – Allows Side Power thrusters to work with JPI.\u003cbr data-start=\"665\" data-end=\"668\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"671\" data-end=\"691\"\u003eOne Per Thruster\u003c\/strong\u003e – Each Side Power unit needs its own harness.\u003cbr data-start=\"737\" data-end=\"740\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"743\" data-end=\"762\"\u003eJPI Integration\u003c\/strong\u003e – Ensures the thruster and piloting system communicate correctly.\u003cbr data-start=\"828\" data-end=\"831\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"834\" data-end=\"852\"\u003ePlug-In Design\u003c\/strong\u003e – No complicated rewiring or custom adapters.\u003cbr data-start=\"898\" data-end=\"901\"\u003e • \u003cstrong data-start=\"904\" data-end=\"924\"\u003eOEM Marine Build\u003c\/strong\u003e – Durable wiring made for heat, spray, and vibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"980\" data-end=\"983\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"985\" data-end=\"1199\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"985\" data-end=\"1016\"\u003eEngine \u0026amp; Boat Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1016\" data-end=\"1019\"\u003e • Joystick Piloting for Inboards\u003cbr data-start=\"1052\" data-end=\"1055\"\u003e • Side Power thrusters\u003cbr data-start=\"1078\" data-end=\"1081\"\u003e • Vetus thruster setups (adapter not required)\u003cbr data-start=\"1128\" data-end=\"1131\"\u003e • Dual- and single-engine inboard JPI boats\u003cbr data-start=\"1175\" data-end=\"1178\"\u003e • SmartCraft network\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1201\" data-end=\"1204\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1206\" data-end=\"1583\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1206\" data-end=\"1242\"\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Practical Benefits\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1242\" data-end=\"1245\"\u003eWith this harness in place, the JPI system can control Side Power thrusters the way it’s meant to—smooth pivots, gentle nudges, and predictable movement around docks.
