HELM MASTER EX

INNOVATION IN CONTROL AND COMFORT

Designed for professionals, enthusiasts and casual users alike, Yamaha’s Helm Master EX® boat control system makes boat operations both easy and enjoyable with a sophisticated array of features. It is designed for both single and multiple outboard engine set-ups.

With modern styling, premium feel and ergonomics, the Yamaha Helm Master EX® features a Joystick with state-of-the-art software.

Offering smoother shifting and single-function buttons for easy operation and improved overall experience, the joystick allows you to manoeuvre through confined areas, such as a marina. For multi-engine applications, you can now even move your boat sideways and rotate on its axis for even more precision. The Helm Master EX® joystick also allows fine tuning of Autopilot and positioning adjustments within SetPoint. Our most recent update allows you to customise F-R and N positions with different contrasting colours, so you can quickly identify if the remote control is in N position to change to the joystick mode.

Yamaha’s Autopilot offers a host of benefits, giving you the option to relax while the outboards work themselves. It’s a required installation for the full Helm Master EX® system and includes a small panel on the console, a heading sensor under the console, a precise GPS antenna, and a control unit.

It provides many convenient features for boat control and piloting, like Course Hold which uses fine adjustments to keep you on course, right up to the full Autopilot function, where your boat automatically follows a set GPS course, giving you a smooth and trouble-free journey. Discover more of the features in the dedicated section on the website or contact your local dealer for full detailed overview of the range of existing options.

Yamaha’s sophisticated Digital Electric Steering (DES) is integrated in most Yamaha outboards from 150hp onwards for single through quint applications. Not only does this make for a more spacious cockpit area with no conventional steering pumps, hoses or wiring getting in your way, but the full electric actuators are extremely quiet and fast, while drawing even less power from your batteries than you would find in a typical hydraulic power steering solution, ensuring your experience is smooth and pleasing.
