GARMIN ONBOARD
Garmin has launched Garmin Onboard, an advanced safety system that combines wireless man overboard (MOB) detection with automatic engine shutoff, eliminating the need for traditional lanyards.
Designed to fit every need, wireless MOB tags can be worn on the wrist, attached to a carabiner, or attached to a floating keychain, offering comfort and complete freedom of movement.
Each tag can be configured as “commander” or “crew/guest,” allowing the response of the plotters, engine, and onboard automation systems to be tailored to the user’s role.
In the event of a fall overboard, the system automatically records a waypoint on the chartplotter and triggers an audible alarm. If the skipper falls overboard, the engine stops immediately. The skipper tag also allows the engine to be manually deactivated with a single action, ensuring maximum safety and control during every maneuver.
The Garmin Onboard system can connect up to eight tags simultaneously and connects directly to GPSMAP and ECHOMAP series chartplotters. Each tag is powered by a battery designed to last a full boating season. Learn more at garmin.com
