Yamaha debuted a wireless control unit for its Helm Master EX joystick control system at the 2025 Miami boat show. The wireless controller hangs around the operator’s neck on a lanyard and gives him or her the ability to steer, turn and slide a boat sideways. It also has autopilot controls, a man overboard button and can be customized to operate things such as trim. This will be a game changer when operating a boat solo, or on larger boats where it can act as a wing station or upper station.
