This next-generation, integrated boat control system demonstrates Yamaha’s commitment to developing products that are easier to use and provide boaters greater confidence on the water. The expansion of the system to single-outboard boat configurations also means a wider range of boaters can enjoy most of the benefits associated with multi-outboard Helm Master EX applications.
Helm Master EX boasts enhanced joystick manoeuvrability with smooth, quiet, precise operation, new single-function buttons and new features like DriftPoint® Track. Effortless Yamaha Autopilot can be adjusted with the joystick and includes functions such as course and heading hold, Track Point (NAV along waypoints), and two types of pattern steer that seamlessly integrate with Speed Control and Pattern Shift. In addition, joystick adjustability provides increased comfort, control and convenience, and allows for fine tuning of Yamaha Autopilot and SetPoint® features without leaving current mode, creating additional ease of use and capability.
Incredibly fast and responsive, Digital Electric Steering (DES) means Helm Master EX provides precise control with an uncluttered bilge. DES can now be added to any current and most previous Digital Electronic Control (DEC)-capable Yamaha outboard models. The system’s DEC (control box) has also been redesigned for ergonomic comfort and ease of use. All functions previously on the Helm Master control now come standard on all Helm Master EX system configurations.
Helm Master EX suits a wide variety of boat applications, fits all current Yamaha DEC outboards and back-fits outboards creating a wider range of repower flexibility.
Also new, Helm Master EX (or its properly configured component systems) can be installed by the boat builder at the factory or by dealers when repowering customer boats at the dealership. This allows boaters to better tailor their Helm Master EX system to their specific desires.
Yamaha’s Helm Master EX PowerMatched®/Component Limited Warranty applies to all components within the system. Helm Master EX is available through Yamaha boat builders and dealers starting Fall 2020.
