For many would-be boating enthusiasts, the myriad rules, protocols and maneuvers involved in "taking a boat out" are stressful enough to keep them from purchasing a pleasure craft or fully enjoying the boat they already own.

At Brunswick Corporation, the largest maker of pleasure boats in the world, we believe that simplifying boating by providing boaters easy access to vital information by making the control systems of a boat more intuitive and pleasurable will help increase enjoyment and participation in our wonderful sport. This is why we have created SmartCraft.

Currently on the water in hundreds of thousands of vessels, SmartCraft vessel integration systems:

• Link, control and activate a wide range of boat systems, including propulsion, controls, helm electronics and advanced diagnostics, as well as a host of internal and external sensors
• Monitor a vessel, its engine and environmental conditions
• Integrate data from multiple sources on the vessel
• Deliver precise, accurate information on a growing number of boat systems that attach to the SmartCraft "network"
• Display vessel information in multiple locations at the helm and around the boat

When it comes to vessel information and control on the water, SmartCraft leads the way in innovation, quality and dependability.
