“I paid extra for the joystick with the promise of not needing a stern thruster because of the ‘engine trick’. Turns out that the boat really can’t walk sideways as they promised. Could have saved 8k if I got the twin (or more if I went with YC) and put it in a stern thruster.”
“The response between operation and response is slow. I find the set up way too aggressive. Many users I have spoken to get confused when stern to as you need to turn the unit round and in wind and tide you simply don’t have time.”
“New installation, poor response with a lag between function and execution and a stiff joystick. Been trying to contact both Dockmate US & EU without response. AVOID THIS PRODUCT”
