Piloting your boat with a remote control
Dockmate has developed wireless remote control systems for boats. Its technology enables maneuvers to be controlled from any point on the boat. Its 50-meter range makes it easily adaptable to boats from 7 to over 50 meters. It adapts to all engine architectures, single or multiple. A receiver, installed behind the dashboard, centralizes the links with wired motors and thrusters. It then communicates wirelessly with a remote control.
Simple manoeuvring, whatever the crew
Dockmate remote controls are not just for solo sailors. While they make port and anchoring maneuvers easier when you're alone on board, remote controls can also make life a lot easier for skippers with less experienced or less mobile crews. On larger yachts, there's no need to rush from the bow to the transom to change the hawsers.
Different control levels for different boats
Dockmate offers 3 levels of service, to suit all boat configurations.
- The Dockmate RED is compatible with simple analog systems and operates in on/off mode
- The Dockmate, SINGLE or TWIN, also in on/off mode, for analogue or non-analogue installations, features a number of additional functions
- The Dockmate TWIST or VECTOR adds the possibility of proportional control of motor power.
Advanced, intuitive features
Dockmate doesn't just duplicate engine, bow and stern thruster controls. With the aim of simplifying the yachtsman's life, it also adds various functions, such as Engine Trick, a joystick for moving the boat sideways, or Soft Docking, which regulates the power demanded on strong engines, limiting jerking.
Based on a patented, secure wireless protocol, the Dockmate remote control can be easily configured to suit the boat's configuration.
