A system and method for tracking marine equipment is provided. Generally, the system and method of the present disclosure are designed to generate indicia corresponding to the inventory level of marine equipment used for a particular marine activity. To facilitate the assignment of indicia reflecting the inventory level of marine equipment used for a marine activity, the system and method of the present disclosure uses a plurality of equipment profiles having a defined lower limit and quantity associated with each piece of marine equipment. The lower limit may be manually input or automatically generated. The quantity may be tracked by the system using equipment transmitters and equipment sensors. In a preferred embodiment, the indicia indicate whether the quantity of a piece of marine equipment has fallen below a certain specified level as defined by the user. Users may purchase new marine equipment from third-party retailers via the user interface.

A remote control system for a marine vessel includes at least one fob communicating with a helm transceiver module on the vessel. The fob has at least two user inputs, each associated with a different user-selectable fob command, wherein the fob is configured to wirelessly transmit a fob identification and a selected fob command in response to user selection of a user input. The helm transceiver module is configured to store unique fob identifications for permitted fobs and a set of system commands for each user-selectable fob command for each fob identification, wherein the set of system commands are configurable by a user. Upon receipt of the fob identification and the selected fob command, the helm transceiver module verifies that the fob identification is associated with one of the permitted fobs and identifies the user-configured set of system commands associated with the selected fob command and the fob identification. The helm transceiver module then communicates instructions via a vessel network based on the set of system commands to activate or deactivate devices on the marine vessel.

A system and method for deterring theft of a marine vehicles is provided. The system is designed to collect barometric pressure data and analyze it to determine whether there has been a sudden change in elevation that may be indicative of a theft. The system is also designed to collect environmental data pertaining to a marine vehicle's normal environment and compare it to a normal environmental state of the marine vehicle in order to detect changes that may be indicative of a theft. Additionally, the system is designed to monitor equipment of the marine vehicle and alert a user if the equipment has been moved in a way that may be indicative of a theft. When the system determines an event has occurred that may be indicative of a theft, the system may alert the user by triggering an alarm via a computer readable signal.

A surfboard locking system includes a device for providing a securement point allowing a surfboard to be secured to a lock. The device includes at least a first piece and a second piece, each piece sized and shaped to be insertable into a fin box opening of a surfboard fin box. The first and second pieces are pieces couplable together within the fin box to form a securement, the securement sized and shaped such that the securement cannot be removed through the fin box opening. One of the pieces can include a passageway sized and shaped to accommodate a portion of a lock, such as the shackle of a padlock, to allow the surfboard to be securely locked to a cable or other object.

An apparatus manages a dock, a portion of which is disposed over a body of water, from a remote device. A control unit is disposed on the dock. A plurality of sensors is each in data communication with the control unit. Each of the plurality of sensors includes: an electric shock sensor; a water level sensor that senses a distance to the water from a predetermined location of the dock; and a theft detection circuit. A communication chipset is in data communication with the control unit. The control unit includes a processor that is programmed to transmit to the remote device via the communication chipset an indication of the following: a shock likelihood sensed by the electric shock sensor; a level detected by the water level sensor; and an alert when the theft detection circuit detects a likelihood of theft.

A boat includes a sound emitter, a light emitter, and a controller to visually and audibly communicate a boat status and an external environment of the boat. The controller is configured or programmed to detect a condition of the boat including at least one of a status of the boat, excluding the status of the sound emitter and the light emitter, or the external environment of the boat. The controller is configured or programmed to operate the sound emitter and the light emitter in a mixed pattern combining sound and light according to the detected condition of the boat. The status of the boat and the external environment are able to be communicated visually and audibly to passengers, for example, via the mixed pattern combining sound and light.

A system and method for deterring the theft of a marine battery pack used to power a marine propulsion system, such as an outboard motor. The marine battery pack includes an internal communication system that allows the battery pack to communicate with an authentication device. The battery pack communicates an authentication request to the authentication device. If the battery pack is associated with the authentication device, a confirmation is communicated to the marine battery pack and the marine battery pack operates in a normal manner. If confirmation is not received from an authentication device, the operation of the marine battery pack is modified from the normal condition. The modification of the operation of the battery pack renders the battery pack unusable to deter theft. Each battery pack may be associated with more than one authentication device and each authentication device may be associated with more than one battery pack.
