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 system for preventing theft of marine electronics includes a bracket configured to be mounted to a hull of a vessel. The bracket includes a projection and an orifice defined through the projection. The orifice of the projection is configured to receive a lock. A panel is secured to the hull of the vessel by the bracket. The panel includes an orifice configured to receive the projection of the bracket. The panel is configured to substantially cover a marine electronics unit to prevent theft of the unit. A handle extends from the panel. The handle is configured to move the panel between a first orientation in which the projection of the bracket is arranged in the orifice of the panel to secure the panel to the hull of the vessel, and a second orientation in which the panel is removed from the hull of the vessel.

A system includes a base unit mounted securely within a boat, one or more sensors, each of the one or more sensors positioned throughout the boat and communicatively linked to the base unit, a web application residing in a server, the base unit communicatively linked to the web application, and a remote device, the remote device communicatively linked to the web application in the server, the web application configured to provide input

A vessel secure remote access system and method, comprising; a maintenance access device arranged on the vessel, configured to be connected to vessel operation systems and further to be connected to a remote service station via a first secure link, wherein the remote service station is configured to perform maintenance tasks on the vessel operation systems. A remote control switch is arranged on the vessel configured to be connected to a remote control station, via a second secure link, wherein a disabled state the maintenance access device blocks access to the vessel operation systems, and in an enabled state allows access to the vessel operation systems. The remote control switch is configured to enable or disable the vessel maintenance access device based on commands from the remote control station.

A system and method for managing information related to marine activities and selectively sharing such information is provided. The system is designed to collect environmental data and create buoy profiles that may be analyzed by users to scout environmental conditions that may be conducive to catching fish in certain geolocations. Buoy profiles are updated in real time by fisherman using the system. The system is also designed to collect information pertaining to a catch and create an activity profile that may be analyzed by users to scout optimal geolocations in which to catch fish. A user's activity profiles may be shared with other users or kept private depending on permission levels within the system. Additionally, the system is designed to alert users of dangerous weather conditions and optimal fishing geolocations based on the buoy profiles and environmental states created by the system.

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.

A method for deterring pinnipeds from an area by deploying a movable array of deterrent devices over the area to be protected.

Various embodiments for measuring and interpreting a vessel operator's intent and control inputs are disclosed. Various stations on a vessel comprise user control devices to receive vessel control commands from a vessel operator in conjunction with associated transducer information capturing physical conditions or attributes of the operator at, or proximate to, one of the user control devices. A processor determines whether the vessel control command was deliberate, based on the physical condition or the attribute captured by the transducer. Upon determination of a valid user control input, the processor optionally performs transformation of the user vessel control command based on an operator identity and vessel environmental factors, and then sends a corresponding control command to one or more vessel physical control devices, such as a rudder or an engine.

The present invention is generally an anti-theft device, or locking mechanism suitable for anchoring a paddleboard to a fixed object. The locking mechanism may include a support body configured to engage with a fin box of a board such as a paddleboard or surfboard. In exemplary embodiments, the support body includes a cubical frame with one or more openingsfor example, an opening on each face of the cubical framethat enables a locking means, such as a lock or lockable cable to engage with the support body. Because the support body can be securely attached to the fin box of a board, when the locking means is engaged to the support body, the board will be secured to a fixed object, and unauthorized removal of the board is prevented.
