what is your best boat gadget

WOW that is awesome tc410 a Vespa no less. Reminds me of the RV I saw one day towing his own small helicopter... Now there's a thought what's on the hydraulic lift.....

Get a cheap indoor/outdoor thermometer and put the outdoor sensor in the boat fridge and the base is your cabin temp. If you have a a freezer put the outdoor in it and the base in the fridge.

I keep an eye on mine all the time.

These Bluetooth speakers are my best boat gadget. Great, full sound all controlled by my tablet, iPad or phone. I use it at home too but it's absolutely perfect for our boating needs...

I agree, wish we had a like button... :)
 
Can't compete with the scooter but for me it has to be my Fusion IP700 Stereo. I use all four zones and by using the FusionLink App I have remotes on every phone and iPad on the boat. There is always a remote close by.
 
Dock line connected to Hooters dock in Bay City.
 
iPad with the navionics charts. Ram talon mount next to dash. I got the idea from others on this site.

The nav gps is excellent, and I love having the iPad with apps, notes, manuals on iBooks, etc at arms reach. Cost - 1/2 boat dollar.

I bought this stereo and am looking forward to installing it soon. I also had four of their premium speakers installed above deck and still have to install 4 more down below along with at least one sub woofer and a 1200 watt amp. Love some good tunes while I'm relaxing. We downloaded the Fusion-Link app on our phones and tablets also and are looking forward to using it.

You will love it. Remember you still will need a wireless router. All you do is plug it in to the head unit and it creates it's own network. My wife and I each have our iPads on board and our cell phones (she has 2) so there is always a remote within reach.

I took an old iTouch I had and loaded my iTunes playlists on it and that is my source for uninterrupted music on board. I think I have like 4 days worth.
 
Well the latest addition to our new to us 340 is an ubiquiti bullet to reach our marina wifi better. I can now work from our boat on the end of our dock.
 
My new stereo, Fusion 650 and my tv... I found a 30 dollar bluetooth transmitter at best buy. It plugs into the tv head jack and powered via the usb jack. It bluetooths right to the Fusion unit and now tv sound through the entire boat. Going to get another tv for the upper Solon and watch some great ball games with the sub giving every tackle it's deserved thud!
The Fusion 650 also has an app that let's me control all functions yes all functions on my andriod! Yes apple too. I got 20 feet from the boat before it lost signal. Love it!

Next for Xmas is an hand held auto pilot. It links right up to the factory autopilot. Sit on the bow and enjoy a nice evening cruise. Slow you know...
 
Christmas came a little early, just got a new Fusion 650 with wired remote for helm, can't wait to start playing with it. Next Christmas I'm asking Santa for new Garmin HD :smt038

What new gadget is Santa bringing you?
 
Rob, you need those wireless cameras connected to another device's wifi, right? Wondering how I could monitor my boat without having an Internet connection on boat.
 
Same on the ice maker. Too bulky and now I just make sure I keep a bag of ice in freezer. If anyone wants mine, I'll sell it for pennies on dollar. I bought the smallest I could find at the time.

For us it's the Vespa. Great for getting out and exploring ports and making beer/grocery runs.

Jeff,

I have to say that this is very cool. From the pic, it looks like you can cary a dinghy and the scooter. Is your dinghy a center consol? Do you carry both toys at the same time? Do you feel drop in performance?
 
Thanks Alex... Yes, I also carry a Zodiac 340 YachtLine dinghy back there (console style). No noticeable impact on performance. Everything seems the same with or without any toys back there...
