ALL ABOUT FIRSTMATE CONTROLS!

By -
When researching marine electronic equipment online, it's always reassuring to know what the company you're considering buying from is all about.  It's also nice to know the quality of products they offer, the services they provide, and whether or not they'll be there for continued support once the sale is final.  These considerations are all things that we understand and appreciate, which is why we're making it easier for you to get to know us and the services and products we offer!

How We Got Started

Firstmate Controls officially started in 2005 in satellite communications providing contract engineering for larger firms and engineering services for smaller inventors.  We have aided in bringing products to market not only in the marine market but also in the drive-through industry, trucking industry and hold multiple patents in communications.  Our manufacturing facility is located in Labadie, MO, but we ship our top quality products all over America.

Our Firstmate Systems

Boat lifts can pay for themselves over time by increasing the resale value of your boat as well as by reducing annual maintenance costs, such as eliminating the need for dock repair, lifts repair or boat repair.  With the push of a button, the Firstmate™ Boat Lift Remote Control takes all the work out of raising and lowering your boat.  The Firstmate™ system can automatically set your boat to one of three levels: Up, Board or Down.  When your boat reaches the desired level, the system shuts off automatically.  With the Board position, there’s no more climbing up into the boat or hanging on to the dock, making it easier to get your guests and their items in and out safely.

Manufacturing Services

At Firstmate Controls everything is built from the ground up from the time you place your order until it goes out the door.  We begin with heavy gauge steel frame design.  We use high-quality welding to optimize support, and finish it off with a powder coating so it can stand up to the weather and water on your dock.  Any electronic components are tested in pre-production and again prior to shipping.  As your system goes down the line, it is spot-checked for Quality Control and put together by our knowledgeable staff.  Prior to shipping, all systems are fully tested, valves pressure checked, and packaged ready to be delivered to your door or your dock.

Customer Support

One of the great perks of buying a boat lift remote control system from Firstmate Controls is the awesome user support that you get.  Not only do we have a user-friendly support request option online, but we provide instructional videos and printable user guides on our website as well - and if that's not enough, you can always just pick up the phone and call us!  We believe that to provide excellent customer service you have to also provide easy user support in ways that consumers best understand it.

  The weather outside might be frightful, but this is the perfect time to get prepared for next year's boating season! Have you found yourself daydreaming or spending time staring out at the water reminiscing about the great times you had on the water this past season?  Firstmate Controls understands your frustration. We want to share some great ideas to occupy your time during these cold winter months that will get you excited and ready for next year's boating season! Inspect Your Life Preservers Lifejackets that don't get used much and spend most of their time tucked away in the wells of your boat may not be in as good of shape as they should be. Even though they might not get used that often, they still need to be in top shape if there were an incident that arises that you will need to use a lifejacket. If yours aren't in good condition they're not going to be much help in saving a life. Take time to visually inspect every lifejacket for rips, tears, holes, etc.
