Since we are on the market with BoatGuard I had many discussions with boat owners that had one installed on their boat. What I have learned is that they often don't use Boatguard to its full potential. I decided to write a series of posts to help current BG owners get the most out of their system. At the same time I will provide in-depth information on Boatguard to those still thinking about installing a boat monitoring system on their boat.

First I will cover some of the Boatguard's features that are different from what competitors have to offer. I will explain the purpose and concepts behind a feature and how it should be used to maximize the benefit.

We created Boatguard to enable boat owners to "stay in touch" with their boat while they are away.

Because of the fact that most boat owners are away from their boat most of the time, we focused our development efforts on minimizing energy BG needs to function. When used properly, BG can easily be plugged directly into the boat battery all winter without causing any significant energy drain.
