Manage your boat with one single control
Now there are options to command both inboard/outboard motors and thrusters together with one control.
Dock like a pro with combined technology
An integrated docking system can significantly improve safety and decrease number of accidents, especially for less experienced boat owners. Moving a boat sideways with one or multiple thrusters connected to inboards/outboards is much easier, and the ability to maneuver to the centimeter can make a huge difference.
A single intuitive joystick provides you with complete control of the boat so you can enjoy your time on the water.
