The Dockmate TWIST’s joystick functions can be fully programmed by your Dockmate dealer

Pressing down on the joystick knob will sound the horn.
Every Dockmate comes with Throttle+.
Throttle+ offers predetermined throttle on every TWIST. This means that every Dockmate can
have 2 levels of engine/motor control: minimum or idle forward/reverse and predetermined
throttle forward/reverse (which is Throttle+). This predetermined amount of Throttle+ can be
calibrated per direction (forward and reverse) to fit the boat’s and customer’s needs. With
Throttle+, extra throttle can be used at any moment, immediately, just by pushing more on
the joystick forward, reverse, or diagonal. So, if you push your joystick forward a little bit, then
the engine(s) will engage in minimum or idle forward. When you push the joystick further
forward (over the Throttle+ threshold), then you will engage the engine(s) with Throttle+.
If Throttle+ is not sufficient for you and/or your boat, then there is also the “Proportional
Engine/Motor Control” option. With this option activated, you can proportionally control the
