Powerful integrations
Assisted Docking simplifies your boat docking experience by removing unexpected variables caused by wind and current. Complemented by the Glass Cockpit, it displays real-time movement and adjustments, providing you with awareness and control over the force required to stabilize your boat.
In tight maneuvering situations, the built-in Garmin Surround View Camera System eliminates blind spots with live bird's-eye view video and 360-degree helm visibility. It also features adjustable alarms that measure distance, helping you precisely gauge the dock's position — be it 1 meter, 1.5 meters, or 2 meters away.
The Joystick system is compatible with Volvo Penta IPS, Sterndrive, and Inboard Shaft systems. A press of the docking button seamlessly transitions your screens to a customized setup where you can see everything; from a large sonar view for depth measurement and Garmin Surround View, to the Assisted Docking interactive screen.
Joystick ControlWhether you're in rough waters or need to stay in a specific location, the DPS automatically maintains your vessel’s position, heading, and depth, while the Glass Cockpit provides real-time insights to help you monitor how effectively your boat is holding its position.
