What is the MyDrive Encoder? 

The MyDrive Encoder is a cutting-edge system designed to provide boaters with simple controls for their boat. Utilizing advanced sensors and connectivity technology, the MyDrive Encoder enhances maneuverability, provides real-time feedback, and integrates with other onboard systems. Whether you’re wakeboarding, surfing, cruising, or simply enjoying a day out on the water, this innovative technology aims to simplify the captain’s duties and elevate the overall boating experience. 

Key Features 

1. Intuitive Knob 

The MyDrive Encoder boasts an easy-to-use knob that allows the captain to access a wide range of controls at their fingertips. With customizable displays, boaters can change speed, what side the wave is on, and steepness of the wave all in one place, making these adjustments quick and easy. 

2. Hot Keys 

Part of the MyDrive Encoder that makes it so useful for boaters are the hot keys. The hot keys refer to the 5 buttons surrounding the knob. These buttons allow you to easy toggle between right and left wakes, speed, tabs, preset favorites, and a rapid surf set up.  

All of these functions are easily accessible with these hotkeys that are positioned around the knob. Check them out in the image below.

For families and friends looking to create memorable moments on the water, the MyDrive Encoder reduces the learning curve and allows everyone to operate their boat easily.
