Yamaha Twin Helm Station Kit – Helm Master

Yamaha Twin Helm Master EX Second Station

The Yamaha Twin Helm Master EX Second Station Kit represents the next generation of digital boat control, specifically designed for secondary helm locations on flybridges or towers. This sophisticated “drive-by-wire” system replaces traditional mechanical rigging with advanced digital electronics, providing captains with absolute command over twin-engine configurations from any station. It is designed to work seamlessly with reliable marine propulsion systems such as the DEC V6 Offshore and XTO V8 models, ensuring elite responsiveness throughout the vessel.

Operational peak performance of the Twin Helm Master EX system is managed through a fully electric steering helm and a dual binnacle control that offers synchronized throttle and shifting. The system features advanced station selection, single-lever mode, and precise speed control, allowing for seamless transitions between helm locations. US boaters gain a higher level of vessel command, reducing operator fatigue and simplifying complex docking maneuvers through the power of digital integration and optional joystick support at both stations.

Technical Specifications of Twin Helm Kit

• Digital Drive-by-Wire system integrates twin outboards into a unified second helm station.
• Fully Electric Steering provides smooth and precise handling with no hydraulic lines at the helm.
• Dual Binnacle Control offers synchronized shift and throttle management for twin-engine setups.
• CL5/CL7 Touchscreen compatibility provides real-time engine diagnostics at the second station.
• Station Selection mode allows for seamless control transfer between main and secondary helms.
• Marine Grade Composite construction ensures extreme durability in harsh offshore environments.
• Yamaha 3-Year Limited Warranty protects your investment in advanced digital control technology.

Multi-Station Digital Command

The Helm Master EX Second Station Kit utilizes a pure digital connection between stations, eliminating the lag and maintenance associated with mechanical cables or hydraulic lines. This architecture provides an incredibly smooth throttle response and crisp shifting at both the main helm and the tower. Captains experience a consistent and connected feel to the vessel regardless of their steering position, making technical maneuvers more predictable and safe.

Integrated Electric Steering Precision

This second station kit incorporates a fully electric steering helm, providing the operator with adjustable steering friction and immediate engine response. By removing the need for hydraulic pumps and hoses at the secondary station, the system offers a cleaner rigging solution and higher reliability. Professional offshore anglers gain effortless vessel command when navigating from the flybridge during long tournament days or technical fishing missions.

Single-Lever Mode Convenience

The dual binnacle control includes a specialized single-lever mode that allows the captain to control both twin outboards with just one throttle handle. This feature simplifies engine synchronization and is ideal for maintaining consistent speed during long oceanic transits or while trolling. Boaters gain a higher level of efficiency and ease of use, ensuring that both engines operate at identical RPMs for a smoother and more balanced ride.

Optional Joystick Maneuverability

When upgraded with the optional Level 4 joystick, the Twin Helm Master EX provides total 360-degree control of the vessel from the second station. The system coordinates the shifting and steering of both outboards independently to move the boat sideways, diagonally, or rotate it on its own axis. You gain the confidence needed to dock a large center console or maneuver in tight marinas with minimal effort directly from the upper station.

Advanced Speed Control Features

This digital control kit includes integrated speed control and pattern shifting, allowing for precise vessel management at low speeds. These features are critical for maintaining specific trolling speeds or for holding a steady position against strong currents without constant manual input. Owners benefit from a refined operating experience that maximizes the performance of their Yamaha outboards through automated digital optimization.

Professional Installation Protocol

The Helm Master EX Twin Station Kit requires professional installation and digital calibration by a certified Yamaha technician to ensure 100% system integrity. This process ensures that the electric steering and synchronized shifting function perfectly across all helm locations. Pro Tip: Ensure your digital network is NMEA 2000 certified to allow for full data integration between your engines and the high-definition displays at both stations.
