A remote monitoring method, performed at a central location by a controller associated with the central location, for use with multiple remotely located boats is described involving determining, based upon first location information, second location information and tide information, whether a water-fed air conditioner of a first boat or a water-fed air conditioner of a second boat should be shut off or turned back on due to tide-caused depth changes at a first location or second location. A controller for a boat has at least one processor; and programming which, when executed will cause the at least one processor to, when the boat's air conditioner is operating, cause at least a water pump pumping water to the condenser to shut off at a time, based upon a depth at the current location of the boat of less than a specified minimum acceptable depth.

In general, one aspect disclosed features an in-davit run kit for a lifeboat, the kit comprising: a water container comprising a first connector; a hose configured to connect with the first connector; and a second connector configured to connect to the hose, wherein the second connector is in fluid communication with a water cooling system of the lifeboat; wherein the in-davit run kit allows a water pump of the lifeboat to draw water from the water container into the water cooling system of the lifeboat.

The present disclosure relates to a biocide generating system for inhibiting bio-fouling within a water system of a watercraft. The water system is configured to draw water from a body of water on which the watercraft is supported. The biocide generating system includes an electrode arrangement adapted to be incorporated as part of an electrolytic cell through which the water of the water system flows. The water system is configured such that biocide treated water also flows to one or more components of the water system that are positioned upstream of the electrode arrangement.
