The implementation of Joystick Driving and Assisted Docking in electric mode enhances the precision and intuitiveness of docking and departure tasks, while onboard noise reduction improves communication and fosters a tranquil atmosphere. Additionally, when faced with challenging weather conditions, the combustion engine’s power can be activated instantly with a button press.
During nighttime, mooring can be achieved silently using battery power, eliminating the necessity for an auxiliary generator. The combustion engine may also serve as a generator to recharge the batteries, whether the boat is sailing, anchored, or docked, significantly lessening generator usage and enhancing overall efficiency.
