The ZIPWAKE Mini Controller is an innovative addition for maritime watersport applications that enables precise and user-friendly control of the ZIPWAKE trim control system. This compact device combines a tidy dashboard with the functionality of a full-fledged control panel, allowing boaters to maintain full control over their boat trim in all conditions.
User-friendly in any weather
Tn challenging weather conditions such as rain, strong winds, or choppy seas, operating touchscreens can be problematic. The ZIPWAKE Mini Controller provides a reliable alternative. Small and unobtrusive, it complements any ZIPWAKE system equipped with the integrator module and touchscreen multifunction displays (MFDs). It serves as a "blind-operable" remote control for the ZIPWAKE app, enabling the user to optimally operate the trim control system without relying on a touchscreen.
Intuitive control and automatic adjustment
The Mini Controller allows the helmsman to either let the ZIPWAKE system operate automatically or make manual adjustments via the user-friendly and intuitive steering wheels. This flexibility ensures optimal trim control and significantly enhances the driving experience.
Easy installation and tough construction
The robust and waterproof Mini Controller can be mounted both on the surface and flush, and at almost any position – whether in the cockpit of a day cruiser or on the flybridge of a yacht. For added convenience, the key sense of the Mini Controller can be connected to the engine ignition to enable automatic system activation.
