DOCKMATE REMOTE CONTROL PLUS

I don’t endorse one product or the other, I just endorse the fact that you need to buy it. Dockmate, this remote control docking system simplifies the process by giving you the freedom to move around your boat while still maintaining complete. I’ve put together a short video and a demo as to how it works in action with a slight comedic twist and commentary throughout. I can tell you that I have clients that use Yacht Controller and clients that use DockMate the draw to Yacht Controller is that they’re featured on more boats and are a more proven product whereas DockMate addresses the issue of Dockmate occasionally falling out of sync by switching to an alternative channel which allows it to function through interferences. Some view this as an unnecessary cost but if I ask you what it costs to touch up paint during heavy winds and user error, it’s certainly well worth it on top of the fact of making your vessel more appealing to future buyers. It’s going to cost between $10,000 - $15,000, again depending on your boat’s configurations and if you want that joystick feature or not. With the Dockmate TWIST you can also operate 1 or 2 anchor.

DOCKMATE REMOTE CONTROL PLUS

You can easily and safely 'bump' the engines, enabling you to softly dock a boat, regardless of the size or type of boat, power, or number of engines. The joystick controls both the gearbox and throttle of each engine plus the bow- and stern thrusters. Since 1999, the year in which we launched the first remote control system for boat maneuvering, we have not stopped. The Dockmate Single and Twin offer a wireless extension of the above controls with the exact same feeling and response time 3 Year Manufacturer's Warranty and 30 Day Satisfaction Guarantee.

This in a sense makes a docking station obsolete as you’re not fixed, your boat washer won’t get the hose caught on one of those throttles and you don’t have to worry about your bastard nephew hitting buttons he’s not supposed to while you’re operating elsewhere.Īs for Yacht Controller pricing or Dockmate pricing, they’re virtually the same. With a simple tap of the joystick or keypad button, the Dockmate remote control will initiate a customizable, fraction-of-a-second burst of the propellor. Dockmate® handheld wireless remote control system offers simple plug n’ play connectivity and fully-proportional throttle control with Side-Power’s highly-. Touchpad control and you can flawlessly operate with the tips of your fingers.

Some boats, especially flybridges will have an upper & lower helm at the very least with many having a docking station or two on the port or starboard side which allowed a captain or operator to get better visibility closer to the dock, nearby the gunwale. Dockmate offers the latest in advanced, yet very affordable, wireless remote control technology for your boat. Each provider offers a proportional controller, with a joystick that allows you to ‘point and shoot’ so to speak or gives you access to thrusters and throttles in a consolidated remote control.
