? about 212 limited S model

[vetplus40]

I had a white/black AR 190 in mind but it was claimed today as a replacement for a damaged boat. As such, it is no longer available.

My local dealer has a white/black 212 Limited "S" for a bit more $$$. The website pics for this boat show some type of knob or joystick apparatus on a panel to the right of the steering console. The specs on the boat make no mention of the know/joystick whatsoever. Can somebody tell me what this thing does?

Thanks

If it's like my 2015 ar240 it is a way to nafagate the pointer icon on the Connext screen. It's a touch screen so I would say it's a back up system to touch. Although I do use it a lot for volume on radio but that's about it.

AR190 to a Limited 212 - I would say that more than a "bit" of a price jump lol.

I have a the 212 Limited S and the joystick is indeed used to navigate the Connext menus.

it also has a small incremental throttle control to it, you are able to use to increase throttle by small amounts versus the little control gained by the throttle levers

Yes, all for the connext functions! And it should be one heck of a nice boat! Let us know what you go for!
