The Volvo IPS system on my 585 Riviera makes me look like a pro in tight situations at any marina. Especially in windy conditions!

[@bobbymedina1198]

Great video. Really shows how easy it is. I liked seeing the Elite Yacht Managment shirt too!

[@bigboatben]

Bobby Medina thanks it was great to have EYM aboard!

[@1992jeep]

Awesome technology! I bet that is great when there is "nautical" weather at the docks too!

[@lightspeed72]

Hey Ben, so if you are running this boat solo, and you are docking and activate the dynamic positioning system, it will hold the boat in place while you hop on the dock and do your lines? Even in a strong wind? Does it drift from position a foot or two or does it just really stay in place? I'm thinking of a tight busy dock with lots of traffic and strong winds. Cheers.

Great question! I'm also listening.

[@zurgmuckerberg]

I wonder if you still haven't found the answer to this question.

[@gorywill677]

Looks easy from this training guide. Thank you.

[@gorywill677]

It appears that anyone with some training could dock a vessel on their own. Amazing

[@JD-kf2ki]

Dynamic button is like a hand brake. :)

[@gopher1471]

Now that was impressive, and it looked so easy too. I saw your review on the 53 is that the same ie the engine size is irrelevant ?

[@bigboatben]

The 53 has much more power. It's the same but things happen quicker. I can teach you to dock the 44 in under a hour. The 53 takes 2 hours

[@bravofoxable]

It is literally impossible to make it easier. Very well done Volvo

[@fixingtogofishing]

What the smallest boat this application can go on?

[@4toes1nose]

You need to add a drone to this video, just watching Captain fantastic gets old after about two minutes and people leave like I’m about to do

[@TacoBanditt]

Such a sick system ...

[@dominiquepilon3980]

YOUR AWESOME GUYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@mikepalumbo2986]

annual haul out,? maintenance expenses ? lots of complicated moving parts sitting in the saltwater 24-7. Im really not convinced that spending more time learning how to drive a simple conventional shaft drive is not still the best answer. ??

[@wallygater]

There's only one comment I can think of ( I want one )

[@caldelt]

HL Fitzpatrick I need one.

[@36thstreethero]

[@ralph_f16simulator]

[@rrichard5515]

I thought this was a how to video, this zero educational information. How do I get these minutes back? 😅
