Dockmate develops more ‘affordable’ remote docking
Dockmate says its new remote docking solution is going to offer exceptional value for boaters.
Dockmate Red has been developed for boats with the most common analogue controls of engines and thrusters, and is offered in single or twin configurations. It comes pre-configured with analogue idle speed engine modules and on/off thruster modules with an optional anchor control module.
“Shorthanded cruisers that are looking for an easy-to-use solution that lets them step away from the helm for a better vantage point or a free hand to toss lines, will love the simplicity of Dockmate Red,” says Dirk Illegems, president, Dockmate. “It is streamlined to give users exactly the features they need at an appealing lower price.”
Measuring approximately 3 x 6 x 1½ inches, the products weighs 5-ounces and has a range of 165-feet. The durable remote is IP67 waterproof rated and its battery life is said to last long enough for up to 15 docking manoeuvres of approximately 10 minutes each before recharging.
