Honored for innovation by the NMMA was Yamaha's all new Connext helm control system available on all new 24-foot Yamaha boats. Yamaha partnered with ACTIA to design the Connext system; an easy to use, all in one system that combines an LCD touch screen with a joystick control, allowing the driver to easily and intuitively access all major electronic functions of the boat. In addition, Connext serves as the entertainment hub of the boat, providing full access to radio and stereo controls, satellite radio, Bluetooth connectivity and USB connections.
