It would be great to hop on your boat and head out for a relaxing day on the water or weekend exploring a new port, but what if someone else had the same idea – take your boat out for a tour? Unfortunately, in today’s world, you can’t always count on your boat staying where you left it. The Guard Dog MarineTrac will protect your investment and let you know if something goes wrong. You can set up a virtual fence around its normal mooring spot, so if it moves beyond that area you will receive an alert message. It will transmit its present GPS coordinates, as well as three month’s worth of bread crumbs showing where it went. Tie it into your bilge pump circuit to be notified of bilge pump use. It keeps track of engine run time as well as battery voltage and system current draw, and can let you know of problems. A built-in backup battery will support MarineTrac for a month if your boat’s power goes out. Supports iPhone, Android, and BlackBerry smartphones. Many insurance companies will offer discounts based on a Guard Dog installation. Read more »
