You know how comfortable it is: moving the boat in every direction with your fingertips. But you also know its limitation: this joystick is fixed at the helm. To manoeuvre, you are forced to stay behind the wheel, where visibility of the dock, the bow or the stern is often poor.   <\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"5:1-5:304;516-819\">That is exactly the problem the Dockmate VECTOR solves: a true wireless joystick for pod-drive boats. Rather than replacing your joystick, it becomes its wireless extension: the same movement, the same feel, but this time from anywhere on the boat. Let\u2019s look at what this changes in practice, and who the Dockmate VECTOR is for.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d0b5ff elementor-widget

systems such as IPS or Zeus have made the manoeuvring joystick widely accessible. With a single movement, the boat moves forward, reverses, slides sideways, and pivots on the spot. It is intuitive and remarkably effective in tight spaces.  <\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"11:1-11:416;1110-1525\">The catch is the location. The joystick is integrated into the dashboard. Yet when docking, the best viewpoint is almost never behind the helm: it is at the bow to judge the distance to the pontoon, at the stern to keep an eye on a neighbour, or on the side to pass a line. On a larger boat, this gap between where you control and where you can see is even more of a drawback.   <\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"13:1-13:98;1527-1624\">So you have an excellent manoeuvring tool\u2026 pinned to the one place where you can see the least.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7934ab7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7934ab7\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Dockmate VECTOR: a wireless joystick for pod-drive boats\n\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-90c884b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"90c884b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"11:1-11:416;1110-1525\">The Dockmate VECTOR removes this constraint. It is a wireless remote control that faithfully replicates your boat\u2019s joystick \u2014 with the same feel and response time \u2014 and that you wear around your neck. In short: your pod-drive joystick, freed from the dashboard.  <\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"19:1-19:377;1974-2350\">Its proportional 3-axis joystick controls your engines or pods in every direction, and twisting the joystick pivots the boat for tight manoeuvres. Dedicated buttons control the bow thruster and one or two windlasses. And when your boat is equipped with the Dockmate Positioning System, the VECTOR also activates assisted positioning modes.  <\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"21:1-21:216;2352-2567\">All in an IP67 waterproof housing that floats, with a 3-year manufacturer\u2019s warranty. You keep the precision of your original joystick and add the freedom to manoeuvre from the best viewpoint. <\/p><h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\" data-sourcepos=\"23:1-23:46;2569-2614\">Manoeuvre from the best viewpoint<\/h3><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"25:1-25:462;2616-3077\">This is the key benefit. With the VECTOR, you can leave the helm without losing control of the boat. You dock while looking directly at the quay, you handle your lines yourself, and you keep a close eye on the neighbouring boat. Manoeuvring becomes safer simply because you can finally see what you are doing \u2014 which is exactly the point of a <a class=\"underline underline underline-offset-2 decoration-1 decoration-current\/40 hover:decoration-current focus:decoration-current\" href=\"https:\/\/dockmate.fr\/en\/wireless-boat-joystick-maneuver-alone-without-stress\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wireless joystick for stress-free manoeuvring<\/a>.   <\/p><h3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\" data-sourcepos=\"27:1-27:47;3079-3125\">The same movement as your original joystick<\/h3><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"29:1-29:202;3127-3328\">No relearning required. The VECTOR extends your existing joystick while keeping exactly the same behaviour.

It extends that joystick wirelessly. It can also be used with the Volvo Penta joystick for Aquamatic sterndrives and shaft lines.  <\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"37:1-37:291;3855-4145\">The TWIST, on the other hand, is for boats <strong>that do not have a factory joystick<\/strong> \u2014 typically shaft-line configurations with conventional controls and thrusters. The TWIST then adds a proportional 3-axis joystick where there was none, coordinating engines and thrusters. <\/p><p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"39:1-39:482;4147-4628\">In short: if you already have a pod-drive joystick, it is the VECTOR. If you do not have one and want the flexibility of a joystick, it is the TWIST. In both cases, you get the same wireless freedom of movement.

No. With the Cradle, the optional wireless charger, the VECTOR sits on its mount at the helm and stays fully charged, ready to use.

The best of both worlds.    <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-53bc202 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"53bc202\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Who is the Dockmate VECTOR for?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7fe6d50 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7fe6d50\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The Dockmate VECTOR is primarily aimed at owners of pod-drive boats and yachts who want to get the most out of their manoeuvring system. If you already appreciate your IPS or Zeus joystick but regret being stuck at the helm while docking, a wireless joystick for pod-drive boats is the direct answer to that limitation. It is also a major advantage on larger boats, where manoeuvring from the right angle without relying on the crew radically improves comfort and safety.  <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7268d17 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7268d17\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Is your boat compatible?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-766866e elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"766866e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" data-sourcepos=\"51:1-51:158;5604-5761\">The VECTOR is installed on boats equipped with a compatible pod-drive joystick.
