The introduction of the groundbreaking DG3 Gyrostabilizer marks Dometic’s entry into the rapidly growing vessel stabiliser market. Leveraging its industry-leading engineering technology and seamless ecosystem, Dometic transforms how boats stay steady amid waves and wakes, delivering a smooth, safe, and seasick-free ride for all.
Today, outdoor and marine tech solutions leader Dometic introduced its revolutionary gyrostabilizer DG3, designed to elevate the boating experience with its cutting-edge technology. This innovation enhances the ride for seasoned boaters and opens the market to those who have previously avoided boating due to motion sickness.
The DG3 leverages Dometic’s proven technologies and advanced manufacturing expertise, seamlessly integrated with Dometic’s extensive portfolio of world-class steering systems. This innovative system elevates vessel ride and roll control to an entirely new level.
As the first in a planned series of advanced gyrostabilizers, the DG3 marks Dometic’s entry into a new market, expanding its offerings into the rapidly growing vessel stabiliser sector. This move supports Dometic’s continued growth in the marine industry.
The marine stabiliser market is growing rapidly, with significant growth in the leisure boat sector. The DG3 is the first model in this new series, specifically designed for the 35—to 41-foot boat market.
What Is a Vessel Stabiliser?
A vessel stabiliser is a device that helps minimise a boat’s rolling motion, ensuring a smoother sailing experience even in rough seas. Maintaining stability in high waves or deep-water conditions enhances passenger comfort, reduces motion sickness, and improves onboard security.
Why Dometic DG3?
-
Groundbreaking Spin-Up/down Time
The DG3 reduces spin-up time by more than 65%, reaching full readiness in just 16 minutes, compared to the typical 50 minutes required by current systems in the market. No more long waits—get ready to sail out.
The system’s downtime is equally impressive, fully lowering in just 20 minutes, a significant improvement over the eight or more hours (15x faster) current systems require.
This means the DG3 minimises energy consumption and allows boaters to continue their activities, whether boating or fishing, without needing to adjust their plans to accommodate stabilisation setup or downtime.

Highly Energy Efficient
Dometic’s solution revolutionises energy use in gyrostabilizers. The system introduces energy storage and recapture innovations, enabling the battery to recharge efficiently. It also incorporates Dometic’s proprietary, industry-proven Inverted Roller Screw technology for accurate dynamic control and significantly improved roll reduction performance.
Featuring a slower-spinning flywheel, larger, more robust bearings, patent-pending inner race cooling, parallel path cooling, and a titanium heat exchanger, the DG3 is designed to stay cool and operate reliably. Overall, the DG3 reduces power consumption by an impressive 40% compared to competing solutions.

Fully Electric
Unlike other systems with hydraulic technology, DG3’s Roller Screw technology provides actively controlled flywheel procession. Dometic’s proprietary all-electric procession actuator replaces hydraulic actuators requiring fluid and prone to troublesome leaks. The solution enhances long-term durability, minimises required service and reduces total cost of ownership.
“We’re not just launching a new product, we’re taking Dometic into an important new category for the global boating business,” said Dometic Marine Segment President Eric Fetchko. “This introduction also exemplifies our ability to apply our revolutionary Inverted Roller Screw technology in new ways for the benefit of boaters worldwide. Response from our global boat-building partners has been very positive, and we’re already working on expanding our gyrostabilizer series,” added Fetchko. “We are excited about bringing this new technology to the marine market and exploring new ways we can integrate it with our other ride and control solutions in the future.”
Dometic has designed the DG3 as an easy “drop-in” replacement for other comparably sized systems available today. It fits within the same footprint and clearance specifications and features reversible mounting feet to address common challenges installers encounter.
To meet the needs of today’s boating market, Dometic’s DG3 is compatible with 12, 24, and 48-volt house battery systems.
The Dometic DG3 is available for boat manufacturers worldwide, and the first customer has just announced their new boats with the DG3 as an option at the Miami International Boat Show 2025.
