Dockmate's newly released DPS solution has two operating modes: one mode for use on the open water and another mode to use in close quarters.
In the open water operating mode, DPS will use only the engines to keep the boat in its target position.
It is ideal for short-handed crews, allowing the captain to step away from the helm to tend to mooring lines and fenders before entering a marina.
In the close quarters operating mode, DPS uses both the engines and bow and stern thrusters in concert to keep the vessel in its target position.
A significant amount of time and research over many years, ensure that the Dockmate remote control system provides boaters with the best control of their vessels in some of the more stressful situations like docking and close quarters maneuvering. Whether entering a marina or waiting for a bridge or lock, holding your position while stepping away from the helm, can be just as important as having fingertip control when pulling into a dock.
Dockmate Positioning System is driven by an IMU unit (which includes a compass, accelerometer and gyroscope) and a DPS Receiver installed within the vessel, and connects to Dockmate GNSS antennas installed on the hardtop.
