Dockmate Unveils the Next Standard in Wireless Marine Control with New Remote
by Dockmate 6 Oct 16:42 PDT
Dockmate®, manufacturer of advanced wireless remote-control systems for yachts, announced today the launch of its newest innovation in marine control technology - the Dockmate PRO. The new remote delivers proportional control and control of multi-engine configurations in a more affordable, easy-to-use, push-button design.
Offering truly proportional control, the Dockmate PRO proportional lever system allows for ultra-smooth, intuitive modulation of both engines and thrusters. Rather than binary "on/off" commands, operators enjoy precise, tactile control that mirrors the natural feel of manual throttles — perfect for tight quarters, docking, or maneuvering in challenging conditions. Each control lever features dual independent channels both magnetic and capacitive delivering redundancy that ensures continued operation even in the event of a single system fault. This layered design reflects aviation-grade safety thinking, now applied to marine controls. A two-inch backlit black-and-white Dockmate Clear View sunlight-readable LCD display provides immediate, clear access to status updates, configuration settings, alarm codes, and more. This is paired with dual RGB LED indicators that give at-a-glance system health and remote status feedback. A built-in light sensor dynamically adjusts backlighting on the display and keypad, ensuring optimal visibility in all conditions — from bright sun to nighttime cruising.
With dedicated buttons for DPS (Dynamic Positioning System) activation, control mode selection, command handover, and intuitive on-screen menus, the interface is designed with real-world marine operation in mind. The remote includes a STOP button for instant shutdown and a built-in accelerometer that automatically halts commands if the unit is dropped, preventing unintended propulsion, a critical safeguard during active docking or emergency scenarios.
"The Dockmate PRO isn't just a new product in our lineup, it's a remote that redefines expectations," said Marc Curreri, CEO, Dockmate US. "It seamlessly combines redundant safety, intuitive control and smart environmental sensing in a sleek, durable package that empowers boaters like never before. We're confident that operators will find no box left unchecked when taking advantage of all of the innovations featured in this remote."
The robust internal battery delivers up to 24 hours of continuous use on a single charge. When not in use, the remote recharges wirelessly via a Qi charging cradle, eliminating corrosion-prone ports and cables. With an operating range of up to 50 meters, a fully waterproof IP67 rating, and a design that floats, this remote is built to perform in demanding marine environments without compromise.
