When combined with the DockControl software suite, Dockmate offers customers an off-the-shelf remote control solution that can be tailored to the real-world capabilities and needs of their vessel, as well as to their own boating style.

Dockmate’s DockControl software offers the ultimate in remote control customizability. Additionally, the Dockmate® TWIST can be wirelessly charged, further adding on to the simplicity of using it.Īs an added feature, any TWIST remote includes Dockmate proprietary DockControl software.

There are no “modes” to learn, just push and go just like a fixed mounted joystick. The TWIST joystick can rotate the boat 360°, enabling you to move in all directions including a 45 deg with only one engine. It is equipped with a 3-axis proportional joystick that allows for you to control 1 or 2 engines, the bow and stern thruster, the horn and 1 or 2 anchor winches or windlasses all with separate buttons. The Dockmate® TWIST works to provide a wireless extension of your boat’s controls with the exact same response time and feeling. To find the system that best fits both you and your boat’s needs, keep reading to learn about the different remote-control products: the Dockmate® SINGLE, TWIN, TWIST AND TWIST for IPS or pods. Moreover, the Dockmate® system comes with plug & play cables that work with most brands and it is FCC approved.
#Dockmate whips Bluetooth
FHSS ensures a reliable data transmission and is same technology used today with cell phones, Bluetooth and WiFi.Ĭonnecting the reliable Dockmate® to the engine is simple and can be done 3 different ways: analog, digitally through sophisticated CAN bus technology or directly onto the gearbox. These transmitters use Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology with 88 bit encoding that also have visual and audio confirmation to inform you about the communication status between the transmitter and the receiver. The transmitters can be operated from any location on the boat, automatically shut off after not being used for 30 minutes and can also be switched-off in a panic without a hitch. The transmitters also feature visual, audible and kinesthetic (vibration) indication. The receiver is mounted behind the helm and measures about 8.75” x 8.75.” Each Dockmate® system is unique and will not be disturbed by any other Dockmate®.Īs a safety measure, the receivers can be connected to up to 2 power sources. The Dockmate® signal reaches up to 150 feet (50 meters). If the transmitter somehow slips out of your hands, then all systems immediately go to neutral. Operation is easy, accurate, safe and reliable, and can be done from any location aboard the boat. An added benefit of the modular design is that the Dockmate can also be moved from your current boat to your new boat (when you buy it, of course). The system is modular so if you start with just engines and horn and want to add the thruster and/or anchor later, you can do that. The TWIN and TWIST transmitters send a coded digital signal to the receiver which operates the engine(s), thruster(s), anchor and horn. It is only the size of an iPhone and has a very simple, clear button layout. The Twist transmitter, preferably worn with the included neck strap, is completely waterproof and floats. Thankfully, with the Dockmate® wireless control system, docking your boat has never been simpler, so this thought will never cross your mind again.Īll boats with electronic engine controls can be equipped with the Dockmate® system, regardless of the length or type of the boat. Have you ever been out on the water and thought to yourself, “wow, I really wish I had an extra pair of hands on board to help me out with docking”? We’ve all been there because let’s face it, docking, operating and controlling your boat are not easy.
