Outback Marine, a leader in marine electronics and systems integration, has announced it has been appointed as the exclusive distributor for the revolutionary Shipcontroller® product line across Australia and New Zealand.
The innovative Shipcontroller® system will officially launch to the Australian market at the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show, held from May 22–25, 2025. Attendees will have the opportunity to experience live demonstrations and see firsthand how Shipcontroller® transforms vessel handling and elevates the boating experience.
Shipcontroller® is a cutting-edge wireless control system that enables boat owners to remotely operate key functions — including engines, thrusters, anchor, horn, and lights — using a compact handheld device with intuitive controls and seamless integration.
Unlike conventional remote controls, Shipcontroller® is a sophisticated multifunctional system that not only manages essential operations but also incorporates exclusive capabilities such as its proprietary Dynamic Positioning System (DPS), real-time navigation telemetry, integrated anchor chain counter, and live graphic sonar display. This unique combination of features delivers unmatched precision, situational awareness, and control, setting Shipcontroller® apart as a true revolution in marine control technology.
“This partnership is a major milestone for Outback Marine as we expand our portfolio with the latest in marine technology,” said Ran McDonald, Head of Sales at Outback Marine. “Shipcontroller® empowers boat owners with freedom, precision, and peace of mind — values that align perfectly with our mission. We’re excited to officially launch it at Sanctuary Cove, where groundbreaking technology meets real-world boating challenges.”
Key benefits of Shipcontroller® include:
- Effortless Precision Docking: Remotely control thrusters, engines, anchor, horn, and lights with precision from anywhere on board.
- Enhanced Safety: Greater situational awareness and reduced docking stress.
- Freedom and Flexibility: Move around the vessel while maintaining full command of key systems.
- Seamless Integration: Compatible with most major marine brands and systems.
- Marine-Grade Durability: Rugged, waterproof design built for harsh marine environments.
- Exclusive Technologies: Integrated Dynamic Positioning System (DPS), anchor chain counter, navigation telemetry, graphic sonar display, and many more advanced features.

Their reputation for technical excellence and customer service is second to none.
