Now With SetPoint®
Make the most of every minute on the water with the incredible control of Helm Master EX. Helm Master EX is built on the success of our groundbreaking, original Helm Master boat control system. It expands upon the functionality, flexibility and compatibility of our original Helm Master system, for an exciting next generation of control.
The expanded functionality of Helm Master EX features:
But expanded functionality isn’t the only news. Now, Helm Master EX is available for a range of applications, from quint-engine offshore rigs to boats with single engines—an industry first. Not only is it available to more boaters, but it’s also available to more boats. Re-rig and repower your existing boat, or add it to a new boat package from an expanded roster of hundreds of participating boat builders. Finally, you can have your boat, your way with the expanded compatibility of Helm Master EX.
Available on new digital controlled outboards F150 and up.
Single-engine boaters hungry for more control, joystick maneuverability and automated fishing functions will find it all, exclusively with Helm Master EX. This is an exciting, industry-first compatibility. Helm Master EX is also compatible with twin-, triple-, quad-, and quint-engine applications.
New, bolt-on digital electric steering brings precision and responsiveness to Helm Master EX digitally controlled outboards from 150 to 350 horsepower (select models). Its streamlined design—with no pumps, valves, hoses, etc.—takes up much less space than traditional hydraulic units, for a clean spacious bilge.
Sit back and enjoy the ride with our NEW Autopilot panel. It features Heading Hold and Course Hold for increased navigation precision, and can shift your boat into a preselected mode once you reach your destination. It even makes fishing more fun with automated spiral and zig zag patterns.
Meet the industry’s first Joystick compatible with single-engine boats. (And twin- trip- quad- and quint- configurations.) It features several automated SetPoint modes, like new DriftPoint Track which auto-drifts your boat around jagged shorelines and underwater features. Get ready for fun fishing and maneuvering.
Our new, smaller five-inch CL5 touchscreen display does almost everything our original seven-inch display does—and takes up less dash space. Monitor the RPM and gear status of up to four engines simultaneously, plus access critical boat stats like tank levels for fuel, water and waste.

This is fallback content to display for user agents that do not support the video tag.
Select FishPoint® Bow or Stern and it’s like your boat is tethered at its bow or stern. No anchor required!
Select DriftPoint® or DriftPoint Track and your boat will enter a controlled drift, either simply maintaining its heading (DriftPoint) or maintaining its heading while drifting along a set of determined waypoints on a route (DriftPoint Track).
StayPoint® “marks” your position and heading and maintains the spot within 10 feet (ideal conditions) or 75 feet (high winds/currents).
Select a route with Track Point, actuate it in Autopilot and then select what your boat does at the end of the route with Waypoint Arrival. At the Way Point, your boat can go into neutral or automatically enter a SetPoint® mode.
Don’t let the wind or current get you turned around. Activate Heading Hold in Autopilot to make sure your boat maintains a set compass point.
Don’t let wind or current push you off of your intended route. Course Hold makes sure you don’t take any detours to your destination.
Stalling your bait and then moving it suddenly gets the attention of the fish. Pattern Steer automates a movement (spiral or zig-zag) to do this.
Throttle up or down with the touch of a button, and engage Pattern Shift for sub-idle trolling speeds while fishing.
Select a SetPoint mode such as FishPoint with the buttons on the joystick
Engage Heading or Course Hold on your Autopilot panel.
Once you reach your desired speed, activate Speed Control by pressing the down button on the lower left side of your binnacle. This will hold your current speed and allow you to bump it up or down with that same button. It’s just like cruise control in a car.

This component features a streamlined design—without pumps, valves, hoses, etc.—for a clean, spacious bilge. So it takes up significantly less space than traditional hydraulic steering units. It also draws much less power than a traditional hydraulic steering unit, preserving battery life.
Our multi-function display interfaces engine information to a number of Multi-function Displays, allowing touchscreen or wireless remote operation, depending on model. Enables chart plotting, sonar, radar, Autopilot, video, music control, digital switching, XM® weather and more. Software is easily updated via USB.
*Compatibility between MFD Interfaces and MFDs varies by the MFD manufacturer. Consult with your authorized Yamaha Outboard dealer to ensure you’re purchasing the MFD Interface that’s compatible with your MFD of choice.
The Helm Master EX Keyless FOB works with Keyless Start/Stop Ignition Panels for one-touch starting near the helm. It’s also used to engage the optional Y-COP® Anti-Theft System, which disables your ignition and fuel systems for security when docked. Y-COP engagement works from up to 15 feet away. Every Helm Master EX system comes with two buoyant, wireless FOBs, however, up to four can be programmed to your system at one time.
Stop/Start Panels are available for single- or multi-engine configurations. They feature slim, backlit, button-push designs that preserve dash space. For multi-engine rigs, a small All Start Panel can also be added. All panels work with the Helm Master EX buoyant Wireless Key FOB for keyless ignition and the engagement of our optional Y-COP® Anti-Theft System.
