Hardin Marine Unveils Bluetooth-Driven Helm System At IBEX – Speed on the Water
Just ahead of the Miami International Boat Show in January, Hardin Marine announced it would introduce new products that employ Bluetooth technology—rather than wires and/or cables—throughout the year. That process continues this week for the Florida-based marine products innovator at the International Boat Builder Exposition, commonly referred to as IBEX, this week in Tampa.
“We debuted a new, all-stainless-steel tilt steering column with wireless Bluetooth ‘Paddle Trim’ features as well as digital, no-cable’ heads-up electronic trim indicators,” said C.J. Riviera of the Palm Coast, Fla., company. “The new Bluetooth trim system makes for a wireless, uncluttered, easy installation.”
In addition to making for clean installation as well, the steering-wheel-integrated Bluetooth paddle-trim product adds a measure of safety for operators and their passengers.
A closer look at the new helm system.
“The driver doesn’t need to remove his hands from wheel to trim the boat,” Rivera explained. “The finger-trim paddle levers are right there, on the wheel.”
The Hardin wireless Bluetooth trim system can be used with outboard and stern-drive engines, as well as trim tabs and jack plates. Both products were showcased on the aforementioned steering column, which can be used with outboard and stern-drive helps. The company’s new tilt product has five ergonomic positions as well as five post-length options.
Drivers do not have to remove their hands from the steering wheel to reach the trim paddles.
