About
The Skipper is a multi-functional controller that can be used on autonomous and non-autonomous boats. This handheld unit controls boat steering as well as throttle speed control. Also, the touchscreen user interface displays GPS map coordinates, radar, sonar, and even audio controls. This allows you to have full control of your boat in the palm of your hands!
