Fort Lauderdale, Fla. – Dockmate®, the leading wireless remote-control docking system, is proud to announce a new compatibility milestone: the Dockmate Vector™ remote now integrates seamlessly with the Hinckley JetStick® 4 system.
Until recently, JetStick 4 was available exclusively on new Hinckley builds. However, Hinckley has now opened upgrade paths for existing owners to retrofit their vessels with JetStick 4 — and that development unlocks an exciting opportunity: once upgraded, those same boats become perfect candidates for Dockmate Vector, bringing full wireless control to the dock.
“This is a big moment,” said Bill Karmis, Director of Marketing, Dockmate US. “For years, Hinckley owners with earlier JetStick versions couldn’t take advantage of Dockmate’s precision wireless control. Now, with JetStick 4 upgrades available, we can bring modern docking convenience and freedom to one of the most iconic boat brands in America.”
The Dockmate Vector remote offers wireless control of engines, thrusters, and other key functions, giving captains total command from anywhere on board. Its precision integration with JetStick 4 maintains the same reliability and safety standards Hinckley owners expect — now with the added ease of docking single-handedly.
Dockmate and Hinckley launched this new partnership at the Newport International Boat Show (NIBS) to showcase this new capability.
