THE THREE SETPOINT MODES: STAYPOINT™ • FISHPOINT™ • DRIFTPOINT™

STAYPOINT HOLDS BOAT NEAR A SELECTED SPOT - MAINTAINING HEADING AND POSITION.
In line for the fuel dock? Or waiting for a bridge to open? This is the job for StayPoint, which uses Helm Master’s
ability to control thrust and articulation on each engine, independently, to maintain heading and position to within
a 75-foot circle of the selected point.

FISHPOINT HOLDS BOAT NEAR A SELECTED SPOT - MAINTAINING POSITION NOT HEADING.
As the name implies, this mode is a great help for fishing - while the Captain’s skill and knowledge is needed to
keep the bow heading into wind or downwind, FishPoint then maintains boat position, normally only needing to
deploy idle RPM to do so. Yamaha’s remarkable SDS (Shift Dampener System™) propellers also play a key role in
keeping the boat quietly and smoothly in position, so working together, they reduce the chances of scaring away
the fish. In stronger winds or currents, this mode will attempt to maintain position using no more than the selected
FishPoint RPM (up to 2500).

DRIFTPOINT LETS BOAT DRIFT WITH WIND OR CURRENT - MAINTAINING HEADING NOT
POSITION
Ideal for kite or drift fishing, this mode keeps the boat’s bow towards the selected compass point, allowing only
the wind or current to take effect.

THE NEW HELM MASTER® DEC WITH DRIVE-BY-WIRE JOYSTICK CONTROL
The Helm Master Digital Electronic Control (DEC) with its intuitive joystick, is the gateway to the Drive-by-Wire system - and it’s a
delight to use, with its mastery of up to 4 outboards - and offers a host of functions, including:

SPEED CONTROL • TRIM ASSIST • SINGLE LEVER • CENTRE ENGINE • FREE THROTTLE • NEW PATTERN SHIFT
The latest DEC Drive-by-Wire controller now has a simple push-button on the top of the joystick to engage and operate the three new
SetPoint™ modes. Each of the SetPoint functions are user-defined, so boat control is easily customized to each individual owner’s
needs and preferences. The newest Helm Master® feature allows the operator to troll below standard in-gear trolling speed by
shifting into or out of gear to meet a desired target speed. In calm water, resulting minimum speed can be set at less than 0.5 MPH.
