Yamaha XTO Offshore Outboard Engines

This system offers joystick control in the helm and the cockpit for precise docking. It also provides advanced autopilot functionalities and Set Point system

Autopilot is built into the “smart helm” with one controller at the main helm in the cabin and one in the cockpit, so you have autopilot at both stations!

The Next Generation Boat Control System

Helm Master EX is a fully integrated boat control system that makes navigating and getting to your destination easier, and once you arrive, gives a whole new level of control to precisely maneuver your craft to exactly where and how you want it.

Never before has an outboard engine been paired with a joystick control, delivering exceptional versatility and innovation. When it comes to triple engine applications, the new Helm Master™ EX excels even further, with seamlessly integrated multi engine control.

No longer do you have to install multiple third-party devices such as steering and control systems, autopilot navigation and additional heavy batteries -nor the hassles that come with complex integration systems. With Yamaha’s Helm Master™ EX, you get all of the benefits of these systems and more, in a simple, clean and fully integrated, plug-and-play system. And because every component has been designed, engineered and manufactured by Yamaha, it works seamlessly together to deliver the ultimate in reliability, durability and performance.
