Godfrey Marine announced a new proprietary-engineered docking technology for precise control and maneuverability of pontoons at low speeds. The launch of its new Pontoon Dock Assist simplifies the docking process for pontoons, and the system is available on select Godfrey Pontoon Boat models.
“Pontoon Dock Assist gives captains unmatched confidence, even in challenging conditions,” says Ben Duke, president of Polaris Marine. “By integrating thruster technology directly into the pontoon’s hull, we are giving captains a tool that dramatically improves handling, so they can focus on enjoying their time on the water rather than battling the dock. This technology reflects our commitment to simplifying the boating experience and advancing intuitive, smart solutions that benefit boaters across our entire pontoon portfolio.”
Pontoon Dock Assist features an advanced hull-integrated propeller design with bow and stern thrusters for 360-degrees of predictable control at low speeds. The system is controlled by an intuitive joystick and two motors mounted in the center pontoon for lateral, forward and reverse movement.
Currently, Pontoon Dock Assist is available on select models in Godfrey’s XP, Sanpan, AquaPatio and Monaco series, with potential for future adaptability across additional marine applications.
“With Pontoon Dock Assist, Polaris Marine is raising the bar and leading the pontoon category forward with a solution that delivers a more predictable, repeatable docking experience — helping captains of all experience levels approach the dock with confidence rather than hesitation,” adds Duke.
