Keep your attention on the fish.
SmartBrake is designed to retrofit compatible stern brake motors you already own. Its features help manage boat position, movement, and heading while you fish.
ONE-TOUCH STOP
Tap STOP and SmartBrake uses the stern motors to help brake your boat to a controlled stop.
HOLD YOUR SPOT
GPS-assisted position holding helps keep your boat near your selected location, making corrections as wind and current move it.
INDEPENDENT HEADING
Keep your boat pointed where you want while your bow motor moves you in another direction. Fish along a shoreline or crab-walk against the wind.
IT LEARNS FROM YOU
Bump JOG while SmartBrake is holding, and it learns from your correction—more push or a lighter touch. When you take over, SmartBrake gives way instead of fighting you. It remembers what it learns, trip after trip.
CRUISE CONTROL
Set your speed with one dial. SmartBrake works to maintain your selected speed and heading as conditions change.
ELECTRONIC DRIFT SOCK
Control your drift electronically. Adjust stern thrust to help slow your drift toward the speed you want while fishing—without a physical drift sock.
LEARN A ROUTE
Record a route and let SmartBrake help guide the boat back along it, so you can focus more attention on fishing.
YOU’RE ALWAYS IN CHARGE
The foot switch lets you take manual control when you need it. The dedicated EMERGENCY STOP shuts the system down immediately. Built-in safety checks help protect against detected faults.
