Evinrude’s new idock joystick control makes dockside maneuvering more intuitive.
Docking a boat can be a challenge when you consider the variables waiting to bulk up the pressure. The wind, the current, and a dock master waving you in between other boats can be unsettling to say the least. A curious crowd congregating to watch the show and silently (or not so silently) judge your performance can make you feel as if you don’t have time to wipe the sweat off your brow. Experience counts, sure, but how do you get that experience unless you leave the dock and endure such trial by fire?
Fortunately, the game just became a whole lot easier with the introduction of Evinrude’s new IDock joystick control. The outboard manufacturer is now offering the system on its new E-TEC G2 series of motors rated from 150 to 300 horsepower and designed to power the growing fleet of midsize center consoles and cruisers.
