They offered a more feature-rich product at a lower price point. Well, now Yacht Controller has a product that looks ready to compete on features and price as well. Until Maximo, Yacht Controller has relied on a one-way link from the remote to the base station, though over two separate frequency ranges. In practice, this means that if the commands from the remote aren’t reaching the base station for any reason, the operator isn’t notified. Previous Yacht Controllers have been basically on-and-off control units without any real intelligence. So, when a boater twisted the joystick on their remote, one engine went into forward, and one into reverse. But, often, propellers are more efficient in forward than reverse. So, although the desired maneuver might be a stationary pivot, the actual maneuver would be more of a forward twist. Market, Dockmate has improved boaters’ experience using its software to compensate for these differences. So, instead of both engines going into gear at the same RPMs, Dockmate has the capability of giving the reverse engine more RPMs than the forward engine. Similar adjustments for bow and stern thrusters with asymmetrical effectiveness keep the boat moving as the boater expects.
