New Film Explains the Innovation Behind Dometic's New DG3 Gyrostabilizer Technology
Dometic recently released a new film titled “The Voyage,” which gives viewers an insider view of how that company’s award-winning DG3 gyro was developed. Engineers and designers from Dometic explain the difficult processes they went through to produce a gyro with faster spin-up times, and up to 40 percent lower power consumption. The goal was to produce a unit that would be practical for use in a much wider variety of boats.
Gyrostbilizers can reduce side-to-side boat roll by as much as 95 percent, making recreational boating more comfortable and enjoyable. With its new DG3, Dometic set out to overcome common obstacles to gyro ownership, delivering industry-leading spin-up and spin-down times, greatly reduced energy consumption, electric actuators with active precession for faster response and better performance, and maintenance-free design.
The technology behind Dometic’s DG3 won both an NMMA Innovation Award at the 2025 Miami International Boat Show and the Dame Design Award at METS Trade 2025 in Amsterdam.
The Voyage was filmed and produced in Vancouver, Canada, where many of the company’s boating products were designed, manufactured, and tested.
“We recognized early on that we needed outside-the-box thinking and bold adaptations of our core technologies to truly take gyro performance to a ‘Whole New Level,'” said Dometic Marine Segment President Eric Fetchko. “For DG3 to be truly revolutionary in terms of spin-up time, power consumption, ride-smoothing performance, and durability, we had to achieve things that had never been done. This film takes the audience into our design room, factory floor and testing facilities as we create what will be the first of many gyro systems in the future.”
