GPS Tracking for Your Pontoon Boat
22 May 2017
Your pontoon boat is a source of great fun during the warmer days throughout the years. It is a place for family gatherings, quiet times away from the world, the perfect spot for fishing, and it can be a floating party for friends and family alike. Chances are that if you’ve purchased a pontoon boat for your family you have made similar plans in your mind.
What you may not know, is that GPS tracking can help you improve on most of your plans and make owning a pontoon boat much more enjoyable long-term. These are a few ways GPS tracking can help.
Track Pontoon Boat Location
Depending on your situation, you may leave your boat in the water for the season or you may have it on a trailer whenever you’re not actively in the water enjoying your pontoon boat. GPS tracking allows you the opportunity to set up alerts that notify you instantly if the boat leaves its intended location. This means that you are instantly notified if thefts occur so you can take action and recover your boat – whether the theft occurs on land or in the water.
Find Fish Better
GPS and fishfinders work hand in hand to take you where the fish are congregating. This can help you bring in bigger hauls and have more fun when fishing with the family. Pontoons are versatile and allow families to enjoy many activities, including fishing, while on the water. GPS guided fish finders help you locate new fishing holes and navigate back to favorite fish hot spots again and again.
Coordinate Meetups with Other Boaters
Pontoon boating is often a community activity enjoyed by families of all sizes. Many family groups own multiple pontoon boats between them allowing to meet up on the water for extended family gatherings. GPS allows you to send your exact coordinates so that everyone can find you quickly and easily.
Monitor Bilge Pumps Remotely
If you leave your boat unattended in the water for any length of time – hours, days, or even weeks at a time, then a bilge pump problem can become a big problem for your boat fast. If your GPS tracking system is a hardwired system, you can easily add a float switch that monitors bilge level and sends alerts to your phone or email if there is a problem.
Whether you’re looking to up your game on the water, protect your possessions, or improve your odds of recovering your pontoon if a theft occurs, GPS tracking is the perfect solution for your pontoon boat.
