With reliability as it's foundation, you can trust this until it fails. Well done Yamaha.

[@tommyvik1010]

Like the device and will be a big help for operating the boat alone during fishing in northern Norway. Question, are there option to have a second control point in the fore deck? Regards Tommy who like to fish during winter season in Lofoten fisheries.

are single engines able to pivot on the spot with the new Helm Master EX?

[@anthonyeglington3206]

I love the device I noticed on this video you have bolt on electric steering on a 200 hp motor yet on the yammi web site it only has 225 hp and upwards configured for the system

[@YamahaMarineAu]

Hi Anthony, you can fit Helm Master EX to any Yamaha DEC outboards from 150 - 425hp. Bolt on steering like the one shown here is required from 150-225... 250, 300 and 425hp models are available with built-in steering instead.

[@bradwilliams1457]

what happens to engine hour counter when using spot lock feature with this? Does this mean you are adding 10hrs / day to your engine hours, rather than using electric to hold you there?

[@imranhassan8842]

Good question, I would like to know this too.

[@63melvyn]

Is this available in the UK ?

[@warrencranston448]

Who was the Boat Manufacturer on the video? Thanks.

[@damodoesall6240]

What is the smallest outboard this can be fitted to?

[@jasongauci634]

150 Hp

[@kapitidon]

Did I see a Minn Kota on the front of your test boat? Does this system do away with the need for that accessory?

[@imranhassan8842]

Exactly my thoughts, what's the need for the minn kota?

[@YamahaMarineAu]

Horses for courses, but the MK was fitted before Helm Master EX dropped in July 2020.

[@paullam007]

I think there's a small hiccup here. Staypoint isn't available with a single outboard correct?

[@FM-db3ft]

It is now, called fish point

[@peterryan2064]

Why is the minnkota needed on this boat?

[@YamahaMarineAu]

It was fitted before Helm Master EX was released.

[@jamesyates4752]

Nooooooo! You can’t just keep changing gears like that all the time the gearbox will blow! Haha F350 go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[@YamahaMarineAu]

Incorrect. Helm Master EX was designed from the ground up by Yamaha engineers to minimise impact on existing parts and operations. Thousands of hours of testing in all conditions have shown no problems.

[@axscdvfb]

Yeah Yamaha claims there’s no problem with the constant shifting.
