Yamaha Twin Helm Station Kit – Helm Master

Yamaha Twin Helm Master EX Second Station

The Yamaha Twin Helm Master EX Second Station Kit represents the next generation of digital boat control, specifically designed for secondary helm locations on flybridges or towers. This sophisticated “drive-by-wire” system replaces traditional mechanical rigging with advanced digital electronics, providing captains with command over twin-engine configurations from any station. It is designed to work seamlessly with reliable marine propulsion systems such as the DEC V6 Offshore and XTO V8 models, ensuring responsiveness throughout the vessel.

Operational peak performance of the Twin Helm Master EX system is managed through a fully electric steering helm and a dual binnacle control that offers synchronized throttle and shifting. The system features advanced station selection, single-lever mode, and precise speed control, allowing for transitions between helm locations. US This can provide a higher level of vessel command, reducing operator fatigue and simplifying complex docking maneuvers through the power of digital integration and optional joystick support at both stations.

Multi-Station Digital Command

The Helm Master EX Second Station Kit utilizes a pure digital connection between stations, eliminating the lag and maintenance associated with mechanical cables or hydraulic lines. This architecture provides an incredibly smooth throttle response and crisp shifting at both the main helm and the tower. Operators may notice a consistent and connected feel to the vessel regardless of their steering position, making technical maneuvers more predictable and safe.

Integrated Electric Steering Precision

This second station kit incorporates a fully electric steering helm, providing the operator with adjustable steering friction and immediate engine response. By removing the need for hydraulic pumps and hoses at the secondary station, the system offers a cleaner rigging solution and higher reliability. Professional offshore anglers gain vessel command when navigating from the flybridge during long tournament days or technical fishing missions.

Single-Lever Mode Convenience

The dual binnacle control includes a specialized single-lever mode that allows the captain to control both twin outboards with just one throttle handle. This feature simplifies engine synchronization and is ideal for maintaining consistent speed during long oceanic transits or while trolling. This can provide a higher level of efficiency and ease of use, ensuring that both engines operate at identical RPMs for a smoother and more balanced ride.

Optional Joystick Maneuverability

When upgraded with the optional Level 4 joystick, the Twin Helm Master EX provides total 360-degree control of the vessel from the second station. The system coordinates the shifting and steering of both outboards independently to move the boat sideways, diagonally, or rotate it on its own axis. You gain the confidence needed to dock a large center console or maneuver in tight marinas with minimal effort directly from the upper station.
