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 preprogrammed gentle rotation of the prop, called SoftDocking, for close quarters maneuvering 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. Highly-reliable and intuitive, the Dockmate Single, Twin, Twist and Twist IPS systems allow every skipper to dock a boat singlehanded, offering the ability to leave the helm and get a closer look at the surroundings in marinas and other tight quarters, while still in complete control of the boat’s movement.Check out the European Press release of January 25th 2022ĭockmate®, manufacturer of advanced wireless remote control systems for yachts, announced today the addition of a powerful new free feature for all Dockmate analogue and CAN bus remote controls – Throttle+. For more information please visit About Dockmate:īased in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Dockmate manufactures the latest in advanced, yet very affordable wireless remote-control technology. The compact Dockmate receiver measures 8.75 x 8.75 x 2.5-inches, allowing for discrete installation, is compatible with both 12- and 24-volt systems with power redundancy for added safety, and sports a modular construction for quick customization and installation of additional control modules.īacked by an industry-leading three-year manufacturer’s warranty, a five-function Dockmate system (two engines, thruster, anchor and horn) has a retail price of $6,800. ![]() The transmitter will automatically shut down after 30 minutes of non-use to optimize the performance of its built-in rechargeable lithium polymer battery. The device now has an enhanced range of 150 feet (50 meters) and offers users visual and audible confirmation on the receiver’s status. The powerful, waterproof, floating transmitter’s two-way communication ensures faultless operation with a five-channel Frequency Hopping Spectrum System (FHSS), which is a wireless technology that spreads a signal over rapidly changing frequencies for uninterruptible transmissions. With our enhanced remote controls boaters can move around any vessel for better visibility when maneuvering and enjoy complete confidence in even the tightest of waterways.”Įach Dockmate system includes a rugged wireless, handheld transmitter with an easy-grip rubber finish, lanyard and wireless charger, as well as a plug-and-play receiver compatible with most brands of engines and thrusters. “After many years of building prototypes and extensive testing, we have developed a system that is highly-reliable, intuitive and most of all, affordable. “As yachtsmen with over 40 years of experience, we had searched for an affordable wireless remote-control system that would simplify the oftentimes difficult and stressful docking experience,” said Brian Sheehan, Dockmate U.S. Using the included software, installers can make adjustments to throttle, to ensure improved response time and boat handling to meet challenging docking conditions, such as high winds or strong currents. A pocket-sized extension of a boat’s controls, Dockmate can mimic a compatible accessory’s response time and feel for a seamless user experience or be customized to meet the specific preferences of individual boaters.
