Dockmate Launches Wireless Remote ThrusterHold Control Feature

Dockmate’s new ThrusterHold feature for wireless remote control systems is the first time this feature is offered in a wireless remote control. The system makes it easier to moor a boat by allowing captains to keep thrusters engaged to port or starboard at a certain level so the boat stays pressed against a jetty, pier or other boat.

“We’re excited to bring ThrusterHold to our customers as another innovative solution to make their yachting experience even better,” says Dirk Illegems, president of Dockmate. “Our team has worked tirelessly to ensure that this feature is not only compatible with our currently supported systems, but that it will also work with other CAN bus thruster controls in the future.”

Dockmate ThrusterHold is now available on Dockmate TWIN, SINGLE and TWIST, and is compatible with all supported CAN bus thruster controls for proportional thrusters, including Sleipner S-Link, VETUS V-CAN, ABT-TRAC Link and CMC-CANopen. Systems that use proportional thrusters and have integrated with Dockmate’s protocol can also benefit from this new feature, and additional third-party CAN bus thruster controls will benefit from the new feature in the future.

“We’re very pleased that Dockmate is showing an interest in our thrusters and developing integrated solutions and features that help users get the best out of our products,” adds Pietro Cappiello, vice president of CMC Marine. “Our focus has always been to manufacture products of the highest quality, innovation and reliability and Dockmate mirrors these values with the innovation and reliability of their remote control systems.”
