Docking made easy with the DockMate. We talk about why we decided to get a DockMate and all the things that it can help out with from controlling the boat when you are docking to help control the boat when you are going through the locks. Then we talk about what the DockMate can do. It is like having a wireless remote helm in the palm of your hands. Not only can you control the boat from any where on the boat whether you are on the bow or the stern but you can drop your anchor as well as weigh anchor or pull up your anchor. It also has a horn button! It also has a button for a bow thruster as well as a stern thruster. One of the other reasons we chose the DockMate is that it is progressive which means it works like an accelerator in your car versus others on the market that are a bang bang system. What I mean by that is they are either a on or off system. DockMate also has a 30 day money back guarantee. They can do that because it is not hard wired into the system which also means that when you sell the boat you can unplug it and take it with you! They install the system at the dock and configure the throttles and bow thruster or stern thruster and then you take it out for a sea trial to make sure it is configured they way you want it. This system does not work if you have mechanical throttles you need to have a Glendinning system. The only thing we wish it had was an anchor counter for when you are dropping your anchor but other than that we are very pleased with the DockMate system. #dockmateus #dockmate #dockingmadeeasy
