ALL SYSTEMS GO

Weigh anchor, adjust the trim, chart some chum: Upgrade your next voyage with these savvy system updates.

Control the roll without affecting the pitch with the trim tab system from Dometic. This easy-to-use kit is the only standard tab system with an intuitive controller that eliminates the guesswork of determining which button to push, instead it uses a dial that quickly and efficiently allows your boat to plane. As an added bonus, the actuators and controller work together to give exceptional response and precision when it comes to vessel control, and an auto retract feature is automatically activated when shifting into reverse.

Never fear, more docking help is here: Dockmate has released the Twist, a wireless remote docking system that features a patented SoftDocking technology that is able to provide a measured and fully customizable engine response, eliminating the kick that boaters often dread when maneuvering in close quarters. In addition, the three-axis design of the remote allows you to push the joystick 360 degrees in all directions to provide an amazing range of motion while docking. The accompanying DockControl software also allows installers to calibrate and configure the joystick so that it is customized to your boat’s specific equipment and docking needs.

Garmin has done it again, recently expanding its popular ECHOMAP UHD2 chartplotter series to include updated high-definition touchscreen models in 6-, 7-, and 9-inch sizes.

The bright, sunlight-readable screen displays feature keyed assists so that anglers can easily control and operate functions (like zooming in or out on the map or quickly toggling between different sonar views), as well as preloaded Navionics mapping, wireless networking for sharing go-to spots, and live-scanning sonar; all so you can fish like a local even when exploring new territory.

Brinkl

This British Columbia company is making waves with its 5G security monitoring system designed specifically for boats (in fact, they were just awarded a product of the year nod at the Victoria Tech Community Awards). Armed with a key fob, this seven-piece security kit includes everything you need to keep an eye on your vessel while it’s moored at the marina or in anchorage, as the cameras and sensors all connect to your smartphone and can notify you of any changes in your position, a power loss, low batteries, cabin temperature change, or if your vessel suffers an impact. Door alarms and a siren also deter any uninvited guests from hopping onboard. Available from Brinkl; brnkl.io

From the creators of the Ultra Anchor comes the smallbut-mighty anchor swivel, which connects the chain to the anchor without the need of additional shackles, locking pins, or safety wires. Fabricated from high quality grade stainless steel, the uniquely strong flip swivel features a flipping nub that allows for 360-degree rotation to ensure both setting and recovering, your anchor is a smoother and safer task.
