A wireless device consisting of a receiver and a transmitter that allows the operator to remotely control engines in and out of gear, stern thruster, bow thruster, anchor and other operations of their boat. Additionally, a Yacht Controller® may also be a Yacht Joystick Control System JCS consisting of a wired control mounted at the helm which enables the operator to move the vessel in any direction by pushing the joystick in the desired directional movement.

Yes. We are compatible with electric, hydraulic, and mechanical shifting engines. Therefore, making Yacht Controller® compatible with virtually every boat in the water. 

It sends a unique FCC radio frequency approved band coded digital signal between the transmitter and receiver which allows the operator to control engine, thrusters, anchor and other functions easily and effectively from anywhere on board with a small hand held control.

Yacht controller is very intuitive, allowing the boater to adapt quickly in the use of the system to control the vessel from anywhere onboard the boat safely.

In this unlikely event, your engines, thrusters and anchor will remain safely in neutral, however you will have normal operation of all of your yacht functions through their wired controls. Additionally, if for any reason contact is lost between the transmitter and receiver, an acoustical alarm will sound and the remote in your hand will pulsate or will vibrate with red flashing LEDs.

If the batteries in your transmitter are low in power, the transmitter low battery light will illuminate.

Normal installation is done within 1-2 days which includes testing of the system and on-board operating and training instruction.

The transmitter will turn itself off if not used for 10 minutes instead of 4 minutes, (in relation to the new generation Yacht Controller®).

No. a Yacht Controller® system is easy to install and hidden from view except for the on/off switch and the Joystick (if ordered).

Normal-operating range is in excess of the boat length and can be up to 500 feet, although we strongly urge owners NOT to leave their boats and operate them remotely.

No, Each Yacht Controller® is unique and will not interfere with another Yacht Controllers® in use, even in a near-by yacht.

Yacht Controllers® carry a Factory warranty of three years in normal use.

Cost depends on several factors including the type of engine controls (CAN BUS or Analog), number of functions you wish to control in addition to the engines, whether you want a Wireless or JCS system or both, and location of your Yacht. We will be pleased to provide you with a personalized quote upon request.

With our YAMAS system, which will allow the wireless remote to engage and disengage transmission shift. Or a secondary option via our Yacht Command division, we can also provide an electronic shift and throttle control refit.

Depending on the model Yacht Controller® selected, wide open range is anywhere from 250 to 600 feet.

The new generation Yacht Controller® communicates via dual band radio frequency amongst up to 100 plus channel combinations for great communication redundancy. In addition, has a built-in radio spectrum analyzer constantly checking any resistance or signal jamming in our system from outside Interference.

Yes, but this is not the recommended use if there is no one onboard. If there is someone onboard, the wireless Yacht Controller® can be used to assist the movement of the yacht to facilitate tying lines to the dock, thereby saving muscle strain.

Approximately the size of a small mobile telephone.

Our quad core processor/receiver and interface components are very compact in design, built to be mounted underneath helm stations.

The new generation Yacht Controller® transmitters function as transceivers, As two way communication protocol, the remote as you near the end of range will give you slow pulsating vibrations and a change in RGB LED indication at the remote. When you step completely out of range, the vibration pulses increase and the LED RGB lights flash red.

The Yacht Controller® System has been proven to be highly reliable and dependable for operating functions on a yacht and has worked even in cases where on-board controls have failed due to corrosion.

Yes. Yacht Controller® is easy to uninstall and reinstall on your next vessel.
