I installed a remote control system on my 44DB. It controls the transmissions and the thruster only. I bring it into the slip single handed with a small hand held transmitter on a lanyard around my neck standing in the cockpit or swim platform. My bride a crew she is not so I can leave her with her cocktail on the bridge and I can dock the boat without the frustration of having "help". I installed the same one on my buddies 420. It takes about two hours to install and no wires need to be cut. It works on 2.3 Gigahertz so there is no radio interference. I'm thinking of offering DIY kits or even custom installations. The Yacht Controller sells for 8-10 grand plus installation. This system can be installed for less than 20% of the Yacht Controller with the same built in interference and security features. I've operated my boat now for over 100 hrs with this system and have yet to have a problem.
