Product Details

Designed for sailboats and motorboats between 45 and 70 feet, JOY 300 is the most powerful self-tailing cleat in the JOY range.
Built in premium AISI 316L stainless steel and tested in the toughest marine environments, it delivers smooth, safe, and effortless mooring—even with heavy loads or challenging wind and current.

JOY 300 is powered by a high-performance underdeck gearbox and motor, capable of retrieving lines with consistent torque and speed. It handles mooring line diameters from 22 to 30 mm and is available in 12V or 24V to match your onboard system.

Control is fully in your hands—or feet. Every JOY 300 includes a standard single footswitch for immediate functionality. For greater durability, you can upgrade to a premium single footswitch, or choose the premium double footswitch with electronic control box to enable bidirectional operation—ideal for tight marinas or precise adjustments under pressure.

JOY 300 is in stock and pre-assembled, ready to ship within a few days of your order.
Whether installed at bow or stern, it ensures mooring lines are coiled cleanly, without tangles or physical strain.
For larger vessels and demanding sailors, JOY 300 is the ultimate tool for confident, stress-free docking.

The Footswitch

Standard Single Switch

We include a straightforward, non-branded footswitch with every JOY, so you can get up and running in minutes—no extra parts, no delays. Its lightweight plastic build handles sun and spray well for early use, making it ideal for initial setup, sea trials, or occasional weekend cruising.

Premium Single Switch

Delivered with its dedicated control box. Crafted from solid AISI 316 stainless steel with electronics fully potted to IP67, this footswitch will withstand corrosion, pitting, or moisture damage. One press powers JOY up or down (based on wiring), while the pre-terminated cable ensures a fast, flawless install.

Premium Double Switch

Delivered with its control box. All the toughness of the single version, doubled for two-way control. Separate UP and DOWN pads let you fine-tune JOY in either direction, reliably driving any DC motor in CW or CCW. The sealed stainless housing shrugs off salt, UV and heavy boots year after year, with nothing to rust and no exposed wiring.

FAQ

JOY is the world's first motorized self-tailing cleat, with capstan integrated, that
revolutionizes docking. With a simple foot touch, it automatically takes up
slack, tensions your mooring line, and locks it securely. No more struggling
with heavy lines, no more back strain, no more needing crew help. It's like
having an automated docking assistant built into your boat.

JOY is designed for straightforward installation on most vessels 30+ feet. It comes in
horizontal and vertical motor configurations to fit your deck layout. Most
professional installations take less than 2 hours with our detailed guides and
templates. The system connects to your boat's 12V or 24V electrical system -
simpler than installing a windlass. We provide complete installation support
and can recommend certified installers in your area.

Absolutely. JOY is built like a tank with AISI 316L marine-grade stainless steel - the same
material used in premium yacht hardware. All electronics are fully sealed
against saltwater, and the motorized system is designed for thousands of
docking cycles. Our first units installed 7 years ago are still operating
perfectly. It's engineered to outlast your boat.

Safety First: Eliminates injury risk from heavy line handling and awkward docking
positions
Solo Sailing: Dock confidently single-handed - no crew needed
Effortless Operation: One foot touch does everything automatically
Stress-Free Docking: No more shouting at crew or struggling in tight marinas
Premium Value: Adds luxury automation that impresses guests and increases boat value
Easy to use: the ease of use does not require expert sailor in the maneuver

JOY is extremely power-efficient. Each docking operation uses minimal battery power -
equivalent to running a small LED light for a few minutes. The system only
draws power during the brief moments of line tensioning and locking. You can
dock dozens of times on a single battery charge without any concern.

Yes! JOY includes a manual override feature, so you can always operate it like a
traditional cleat if needed. The motorized system doesn't interfere with manual
operation - you get the best of both worlds. This redundancy ensures you're
never stuck without a functioning cleat.
