The Yamaha Helm Master™ EX is Yamaha’s next-generation, fully integrated boat control system designed to revolutionize handling for outboard-powered vessels. It delivers effortless precision, advanced automation, and unmatched convenience—whether you’re docking in tight marinas, holding position while fishing, navigating long runs, or just relaxing on the water.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Full Maneuverability Joystick Control — Intuitive 360° control for single-engine (F150 and up) through quint-engine setups. Crab walk sideways, pivot in place, or move diagonally with ease—perfect for docking, close-quarters maneuvering, and making any captain look like a pro.
- SetPoint™ Suite Modes — Advanced positioning including:
- StayPoint™ (twins and up): GPS-based station keeping to hold your spot against wind and current.
- FishPoint™ / DriftPoint™ / DriftPoint Track: Automated modes tailored for fishing, drifting, or tracking specific paths.
- Track Point with autopilot integration for precise waypoint navigation.
- Autopilot Functionality — Set headings, courses, pattern steering (e.g., circles, spirals for trolling), and waypoint arrival—reducing fatigue on longer trips.
- Digital Electric Steering (DES) — Bolt-on or built-in fully electric steering for smoother, more responsive handling—no hydraulic fluid or hoses required.
- NEW Wireless Controller (2025+) — Industry-first handheld remote with full joystick, autopilot, and integrated Man Overboard (MOB) system. Move freely around the boat (e.g., handle lines or fenders one-handed) while retaining complete control. Monitors depth, heading, speed, and triggers engine shutdown or idle if someone falls overboard.
- Additional Smart Automations — Trim Assist, Speed Control, Single Lever operation, Neutral Hold, Variable Troll RPM, battery charging optimization, and seamless integration with compatible bow thrusters (Lewmar®, Sleipner®, Vetus®) and monitoring systems like Siren Connected Boat® for remote smartphone access.
- Premium Interface — Modern touchscreen displays (e.g., CL5), ergonomic controls, and multi-function display (MFD) compatibility for a clean, intuitive helm.
Whether you’re a seasoned boater, weekend angler, or new to outboards, Helm Master EX makes every moment on the water easier, safer, and more enjoyable. It’s plug-and-play integrated with Yamaha outboards, eliminating complexity while maximizing performance and confidence.
