The Helm Master EX system: more maneuverability, more precision, more comfort

The Helm Master EX system is Yamaha's boat control system, offering complete control of your boat with the push of a button. The Helm Master EX system consists of four main components: the joystick, autopilot, digital electric steering and bow thruster. These components integrate perfectly to offer greater maneuverability and precision in handling the boat.

The joystick is the central element of the Helm Master EX system, allowing you to control the direction, speed and position of the boat. The joystick has different operating modes, such as StayPoint mode, which maintains the boat's position and heading, FishPoint mode, which maintains the boat's position regardless of heading, and DriftPoint mode, which maintains the boat's heading. the boat regardless of position.

The autopilot is the element that allows you to navigate comfortably and safely, following a pre-established route or a desired course. The autopilot has different functions such as heading adjustment, waypoint tracking, route tracking, wind tracking, and current tracking.

Digital electric steering is the element that allows smooth and precise steering, without the need for hydraulic pumps or oil. Digital electric steering has different advantages such as space saving, weight saving, energy saving, lower maintenance and lower noise.

The bow thruster is the element that allows greater maneuverability and precision in handling the boat, especially in confined spaces or in wind or current conditions. The bow thruster is integrated with the Helm Master EX system, allowing it to be controlled with the joystick or with a dedicated panel. The bow thruster is compatible with Vetus and Sleipner, which are two leading brands in the bow thruster market.
