Boat Controller RMC

The ease of wireless docking

Two-way communication, which in effect means “dual-band transmission”, is state of the art.

Both the remote control and the vessel act as transmitters and receivers, resulting in “hand shake” communication that uses a unique digital communication code, not available to any other source and therefore not susceptible to interference. The signal is not subject to interference, fading or distortion. The portable remote control is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that can run for over two weeks without recharging. The “low battery” warning comes on when you start using the power reserve.

RMC, the new way to navigate

The trend is towards ever larger ships run by fewer crew members, using state-of-the-art propulsion systems in combination with bow and stern thrusters. With the RMC you can control all these systems with ease, using just a small portable remote control anywhere on board. You can even stand in for a crew member who is missing while mooring in a port or lock.

Shape and design

The unit is designed in the shape of a ship and is made only of the best high-quality materials. No cheap plastic, but a robust, elegantly designed unit that will enhance the image of your vessel. To ensure greater durability, we have made the unit splash-proof.

Ease of use

The RMC is easy to install and can be used in combination with all existing electronic engine control systems. You can contact Boat Controller to check that the RMC can be interfaced with your system.

The system is plug-and-play: once the necessary connections have been made to the central unit, you can use the remote control straight away, with extreme simplicity.

Additional parts for installation

When the PB RMC is needed

Only on proportional bow and stern thrusters, mostly of the hydraulic type and not very common on yachts in France.

If you have a proportional Sidepower system, you need the Sidepower S-Link unit.

When the ZF interface is needed

This interface is used when it is not possible to connect to the control head.

Below are some types of controls where it must be used.

Installing a system on this type of controls takes one person one day.

When the Volvo interface is needed

Only on boats fitted with this type of controls.

The installation is done on the gearbox; when the controls are in neutral, you can use the RMC directly.

Installation on the gearbox: in this case too, one person for one day.
