What Is Firstmate Controls Thankful For?


FANTASTIC CUSTOMERS!

We are happy that we have been able to help so many people over the years with their boat lift remote control-related needs. We've met so many kind people and some of them have even left behind some very kind words about our business that are just too sweet not to share.

"After extensive research I chose not to purchase the "manual" control package offered from the HydroHoist dealer that I purchased my lift through. Julie at Firstmate was very accommodating explaining the features & benefits of the Gen3 Pro remote control package I purchased. I'm not the easiest person to satisfy but based on the total experience of sales, service & support that I was given I would rate this higher than 5 stars if it was possible. Thank you Firstmate for everything you've done!!" - Darryl Moellenbeck

"Terrific customer service.  Suzanne was great to work with, helped me troubleshoot our malfunctioning unit, and even found a way to get me a part on a busy holiday weekend and the lake.  Great Experience all the way around!" - Joel Meyer


AN AMAZING STAFF

Information On Our Engineering Department

Starting out in satellite communications, our company’s path has made many twists and turns since becoming Firstmate Controls in 2005. We continue to do contract engineering from larger firms and offer engineering services for the smaller inventor as well. 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. We have always learned to do what we can to keep inventing, producing and manufacturing to keep America going!

Information On Our Manufacturing Department

Our manufacturing facility is in Labadie, Missouri. Everything is built from the ground up from the time you place your order until it goes out the door. We begin with our corrosion resistant Aluminum frame design. 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. We are thankful to have a staff of dedicated employees who all have the same goal in mind. They are encouraged to be inventive; always look for improvements in design for what makes a better product; input is key. Most importantly ~ what comes out our facility is only a quality product.

  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.

  Whether you are new to the boating life, or an experienced boater, the need for a good understanding of boating terminology is a vital necessity. Knowing how your boat works, the function of each part of the vessel, how to address issues when they arise, and a basic understanding of boating safety  is knowledge every boat owner should have.  Being able to properly communicate with those on your boat in case of an emergency situation is crucial to the safety of everyone on board. In the event that you need to call for help, knowing common boat terms will come in handy when speaking with dock staff and even the coast guard when the need arises. Firstmate Controls knows the importance of boating safety and would like to share with you some common boating terms every boat owner should know.
