Overview

Honda Marine Monitor is designed to track boat and engine data, accessible through the accompanying smartphone app and website.

The position of the boat is regularly monitored and can be checked through the app or website. The system will allow users to log and share their boat trips, and set up geofences around their boat which alert the user if the vessel leaves the predefined area. Accessing engine data is now remote and easy to access and share.

Compliant with BF40 to BF250 engines, the marine monitor connects to the boat’s battery and NMEA 2000 network which reads Honda-specific engine data.

In the event that a cellular network signal is unavailable, the data is stored locally in the monitor unit and then transmitted once network coverage is resumed, ensuring no data is lost.

If the boat moves out of its predefined geofenced area an alert is sent to the user and the boat’s position can be tracked. Additionally, a geofence can be automatically set up if the boat has not moved in a certain period of time without the user having to manually do so.

If the monitor is disconnected from the boat’s battery, for a limited time an internal battery takes over and enables uninterrupted engine data transfer, ensuring optimal safety measures are in place for the boat.
