Programmed by a certified Dockmate installer to the preferences of each owner, a full push of the button will engage the throttle for standard control, but a quick tap of the remote's directional switch or movement of the joystick can initiate a pre-programmed, customizable fraction-of-a-second burst of the propellor. This consistent intermediate throttle response eliminates the 'kick' that boaters dread during close quarter maneuvers. 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. Sperry Marine partnered with NAVTOR to launch Sperry Marine Navigation Charts and Voyage Planning.Dockmate®, manufacturer of advanced wireless remote control systems for yachts, announced today an absolute revolution in easy and stress-free docking with its patented SoftDocking™ functionality. The new Sperry Marine Digital service, powered by NAVTOR, aims to help reduce fuel costs, support regulatory compliance and reduce administrative workload for crew and shore teams.
DOCKMATE MANUFACTURER SERIES
The first in a new series of autopilot systems, NAVIPILOT 4500N is designed to deliver improved course-keeping with reduced fuel consumption and a lower workload on the bridge Sperry Marine has unveiled NAVIPILOT 4500N, a networked, self-tuning, fully adaptive heading control system. Sperry Marine Debuts Self-tuning Autopilot.“While the Dockmate wireless remote control system is well-known for being an affordable and highly innovative product for slow-speed maneuvering, our next generation offers even more flexibility and the incredible cost savings of adding a fixed joystick, and replacing it with a dual fixed and wireless system.” “We’re the fastest growing wireless remote control company in the world because we understand what boaters want with this type of safety equipment, and we’re committed to providing a continuously improving system,” said Dirk Illegems, president, Dockmate. The Cradle is perfect for frequent users, keeping the remote in an easy-to-reach location and ensuring the unit has a full battery and is ready-to-use.
It can be mounted anywhere inside or out, like on the flybridge, and it can be used to charge cell phones as well. This gives users incredible savings, both in cost and helm space, as the Cradle only takes up about 20 cm by 8 cm of surface mounting space for a tidier bridge station.ĭeveloped specially by Scanstrut to accommodate the Dockmate remote, the Cradle is also waterproof (IPX6), UV-resistant, and has an anodized aluminum chassis. The true innovation is that by taking the remote out of its Cradle, users immediately have the flexibility of a wireless remote control. Once the TWIST joystick remote is placed in the Cradle, it can be used just like any other third-party joystick docking system. The combination of the Dockmate TWIST joystick remote and the new Dockmate Cradle enables a cutting-edge feature: Fixed Joystick Mode.
With the new Dockmate Cradle fixed-mount, wireless charging pad, users no longer have to choose between a fixed joystick or a remote control. The next generation of Dockmate remotes also gain the advanced functionality of a new vibration response, which means that they now have three types of feedback: visual (LEDs), audible (buzzer) and tactile (vibration), for added safety and a more intuitive user experience. Key innovations in the upgraded hardware are an easier-to-use interface for the TWIN+ touch pad remote control and added wireless charging capability. Dockmate, manufacturer of advanced wireless remote controls for yachts, announced today its next generation remote control transmitters and an all-new mounting option with a custom-designed fixed-mount, wireless charging Cradle.
