Dockmate is the only wireless control manufacturer that has authorization to do so.ĭelivering plug-and-play connectivity with engine and thruster systems, Dockmate's wireless remote control allows users to remain in command of their boat's movement while away from the helm, where visibility is often limited. TWIN, SINGLE, and TWIST are compatible with virtually any electronic control system, analgue or CAN bus.Dockmate has obtained approval to connect to the Volvo Penta electronic vessel control EVC-E and EVC-2 © Dockmateĭockmate, manufacturer of advanced wireless remote controls for yachts, announced today it has received official factory approval from Volvo Penta.Īfter extensive testing for any potential compatibility issues, Dockmate has obtained approval to connect to the Volvo Penta electronic vessel control EVC-E and EVC-2. The dockmate TWIST – our flagship model – works for all boats and any propulsion type (including joystick systems that turn pods or outboards) It offers all the same features as the TWIN and SINGLE and adds to that a proportional joystick, which enables you to proportionally control the engines, and supported proportional thrusters. Their Throttle+ feature enables a captain to add a predetermined amount of throttle to the engines when needed, and their SoftDocking feature makes it a breeze to control a motor yacht with big engines. They provide on/off control of the engines and thrusters. The Dockmate TWIN & SINGLE (respectively for twin and single engine boats) are the next step up. It’s available for single and twin engine boats, but it’s compatibility is limited to boats fitted with simple analogue electronic controls for engines and thrusters. ![]() ![]() It supports on/off control of the engines and thrusters. SoftDocking and Throttle+ are pre-loaded on all new Dockmate controls and are configured during installation.ĭOCKMATE: Dockmate offers a comprehensive range of wireless remote control systems. Instead Dockmate uses the proportional nature of the TWIST joystick, allowing users to tap the joystick for SoftDocking, a full push of the joystick in any direction forward, reverse or diagonal, for idle speed or by pushing the joystick further over the Throttle+ threshold to engage the additional thrust. On a TWIST (joystick) remote there is no need to press the SEL button to use Throttle+. This predetermined amount of throttle can be calibrated per direction to fit the precise needs of each customer and the type of vessel they own. On SINGLE and TWIN models a quick tap of the forward or reverse button gives a pre-programmed gentle rotation of the prop, called SoftDocking, for close quarters manoeuvring a full press of the forward or reverse buttons engages idle power and by pressing the “SEL” button while pressing either forward or reverse gives a pre-programmed boost of additional throttle called Throttle+. Building on the recent release of Dockmate’s patented SoftDocking feature, every Dockmate can now have three levels of engine control. In an effort to give users the most flexibility and control to operate their vessels in almost any situation or conditions, Throttle+ offers a predetermined additional boost of throttle on every SINGLE, TWIN and TWIST Dockmate remote control. ![]() This completely removes the ensuing stress of engaging the throttle into gear.ĭockmate also announced the addition of a powerful new free feature for all Dockmate analogue and CAN bus remote controls – Throttle+. This consistent intermediate throttle response eliminates the ‘kick’ that boaters dread during close quarter manoeuvres. With its newly-patented technology, the Dockmate remote control docking system now has the ability to provide a measured and fully-customizable engine response. Now, Dockmate has solved this problem for good. This is one of the biggest differences between driving cars and driving boats, so much so that beginner, and even some advanced, boating safety courses have sections entirely dedicated to safe docking techniques to help boaters understand and feel comfortable. Regardless of the size or type of boat, power or number of engines, one thing that every boater understands is docking is made more complex by the delay between engaging the throttle and the moment the boat begins to move. ![]() DOCKMATE: Dockmate announced last year an absolute revolution in easy and stress-free docking with its patented SoftDocking functionality.
