Yamaha Motor UK returns to Southampton International Boat Show (19-28 September) with an extensive selection of boats, along with the first UK public demonstration of the Helm Master EX Wireless Controller Station onboard a Jeanneau 9 Cap Camarat.
The new Wireless Controller Station allows the captain to manoeuvre the boat from anywhere onboard, not just whilst at the helm, giving flexibility whilst still monitoring depth, heading and speed via a simple handheld display. Other functions include man overboard alerts activated via tags worn by the captain and each crew member (of which there are 8), the ability to set Autopilot and the useful Staypoint®, Fishpoint® and Driftpoint® at the touch of a button in your hand.
Visitors can view exclusive demonstrations of the new controller and the Helm Master EX system aboard a Jeanneau’s 9 Cap Camarat model with twin F250 engines on berth number M037 at any time during the show.
Alongside this boat, Yamaha Isle of Wight dealer KMO Marine will showcase a 7.9m series Cheetah Marine Catamaran with twin F150 Yamaha engines and which also houses a Helm Master EX system.
