Following years of testing and collaboration, Regulator unveiled the very first boat in the world to be equipped with the new DG3 Gyro Stabilizer technology. 

The Dometic DG3 Gyro brings cutting-edge stabilization to boats from 35 to 41 feet, delivering a smoother, more comfortable ride across a range of sea conditions. It’s the first in a new series of advanced gyro stabilizers from Dometic—and it’s fast.

The DG3 spins up in just 16 minutes (compared to 50 minutes for typical systems) and fully spins down in under 20 minutes—versus 8+ hours for others. Its dedicated 48V lithium spin-up battery and larger flywheel generate powerful angular momentum at a slower 4,700 rpm, reducing strain and boosting performance. Energy from the flywheel is even recaptured during spin down to recharge the battery.

In line with the Regulator 35 debut, Dometic officially launched their fully-electric gyro at the 2025 Discover Boating Miami International Boat Show showing off faster spin-up times, lower power consumption, and so much more. The Regulator 35 and Dometic introductions made waves throughout the boat show - where Dometic was also recognized with the coveted Miami Innovation Award.

So let’s get into it…

Regulator owners will appreciate the innovation behind the all-new Dometic DG3 Gyro Stabilizer, designed to deliver faster spin-up times, lower power consumption, and minimal maintenance—all powered by a 48-volt smart lithium battery that eliminates strain on the house system. Onboard the Regulator 35, the Dometic DG3 reaches full operating speed in just 16.5 minutes, allowing all other systems like refrigeration and electronics to stay fully operational during startup. Once underway, the stabilizer’s smart sensors constantly monitor sea conditions and dynamically adjust to counteract movement—providing a smooth, stable ride without overcorrection. Whether in light wake or rougher seas, the DG3 Gyro offers intuitive, real-time motion control that enhances comfort and performance on the water.

Why Dometic and Regulator make a great team

“It’s the most dialed-in stability you can get—making it a perfect addition to the Regulator ride,” said David Clubbs, VP of engineering at Regulator. “The DG3 Gyro Stabilizer takes comfort and control to the next level on our center console boats.”

“As we look to bring Regulator owners every innovation they seek and deserve, we are so excited to partner with Dometic and have the first in-market DG3 Gyro Stabilizer on our new Regulator 35,” said Joan Maxwell, president of Regulator Marine. “What a win for Regulator 35 owners!”

 

How Does a Marine Gyro Stabilizer Work?

Marine Gyro Stabilizers reduce boat roll—both at rest and underway—making your ride more stable and comfortable, especially in rough water. Whether you're cruising offshore or anchored in a swell, they help keep everyone on board steady.

Let’s learn more…

At the heart of a Gyro Stabilizer is a high-speed flywheel mounted in a gimbal system. This setup allows the flywheel to spin and rotate around a precession axis.

As the boat rolls:

  • Acceleration sensors detect the motion in real time.

  • A control unit adjusts the gimbal's orientation.

  • This creates a force that pushes against the boat’s roll, reducing motion.

The result? A smoother, more stable ride.

Why Choose a Gyro Stabilizer?

Gyro Stabilizers have several key advantages over traditional fin stabilizers:

  • No external parts – No drag and less risk of underwater damage.

  • Silent operation – No noise for you or your guests.

  • Compact and efficient – Ideal for center consoles, sportfishing boats and luxury yachts.

Smart, Integrated Performance

Powered by electric motors, modern Gyro Stabilizers like the Dometc DG3:

  • Integrate easily with your center console boat’s power systems.

  • Adjust automatically to changing sea conditions.

  • Offer real-time monitoring for consistent performance.

The Dometic DG3 Gyro: Advancing Marine Stabilization Technology

The Dometic DG3 Gyro brings cutting-edge stabilization to boats from 35 to 41 feet, delivering a smoother, more comfortable ride across a range of sea conditions. It’s the first in a new series of advanced Gyro Stabilizers from Dometic—and it’s fast. 

The DG3 spins up in just 16 minutes (compared to 50 minutes for typical systems) and fully spins down in under 20 minutes—versus 8+ hours for others. Its dedicated 48V lithium spin-up battery and larger flywheel generate powerful angular momentum at a slower 4,700 rpm, reducing strain and boosting performance. Energy from the flywheel is even recaptured during spin down to recharge the battery.

Key performance features include:

  • Inverted Roller Screw tech for dynamic control and superior roll reduction

  • 40% lower power consumption thanks to slower spin speeds and smart flywheel design

  • Push-pull ram design that recaptures energy and generates electrical current

  • Durable, service-friendly construction with large bearings and advanced cooling

  • No hydraulic fluids—just a clean, all-electric actuator system

  • Easy compatibility with 12V, 24V, and 48V battery systems for global fit
