It offers unprecedented control for single engine to quad engine outboard boats
KENNESAW, Georgia — Yamaha has announced the new Helm Master EX system, a dramatic evolution of the company’s original Helm Master. Available in late summer to fall for single to quad outboard applications, Helm Master EX integrates joystick maneuverability even to single outboard boats.
“The new and improved features of Helm Master EX make boating easier and more convenient than ever before,” said Ben Speciale, President, Yamaha Marine U.S. Business Unit. “The expansion of the system to single-outboard boat configurations is perfect for smaller center console and larger bay boats. The new joystick option, which is the same as that used on multi-outboard systems, allows boaters who desire single-outboard power to enjoy the majority of the benefits associated with multi-outboard Helm Master EX applications.”
Helm Master EX is a modular system that can be tailored for individual applications. In addition to the joystick control, the system includes effortless Yamaha Autopilot, incredibly fast and responsive Digital Electronic Steering (DES) that replaces legacy hydraulic steering systems, and Digital Electronic Control. The Helm Master EX throttle module is full-featured and eye-catching.
