From compasses and autopilots to radars and GPS-chartplotters, BOE Marine offers a comprehensive range of navigation equipment to ensure safety, precision, and efficiency on the water. Below, we’ll explore the key categories of marine navigation and instrumentation available at BOE Marine.

1. Compasses

A fundamental navigation tool for centuries, the marine compass remains a vital piece of equipment for any boat. While GPS technology has advanced, having a reliable compass onboard ensures you always have a backup for basic navigation. BOE Marine offers a wide range of compasses designed for both small and large vessels. These compasses are built to withstand the harsh marine environment, providing you with accurate directional readings even in challenging conditions. Whether you're looking for a traditional magnetic compass or a more advanced electronic version, BOE Marine has the right compass for your needs.

2. Autopilots

For longer trips or when navigating solo, an autopilot system can be your best ally. Autopilots automatically steer your boat, allowing you to maintain a set course without constant manual steering. At BOE Marine, you'll find autopilot systems that are compatible with various boat sizes and steering mechanisms. Advanced systems integrate with GPS units and charts, enabling features like route planning and automatic adjustments based on sea conditions. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or a weekend cruiser, an autopilot system from BOE Marine will give you more control and freedom on the water.

The transducer is the heart of any sonar system, providing the detailed underwater imaging that makes fish finders and depth sounders effective. At BOE Marine, you’ll find a range of transducer accessories to complement your existing sonar system. These accessories include mounting brackets, transom mounts, cables, and adapters that ensure your transducer performs at its best. Whether you need to upgrade your current system or replace worn-out parts, BOE Marine's selection of transducer accessories will help you optimize your fish-finding capabilities.

4. Radars

A marine radar is crucial for detecting other vessels, landmasses, and weather patterns, especially when visibility is poor. At BOE Marine, you can choose from a variety of radar systems that provide real-time data, helping you navigate safely in fog, darkness, or heavy rain. Modern radars come equipped with advanced features like automatic target tracking, dual-range capabilities, and integration with chartplotters for an enhanced situational awareness. Whether you’re navigating crowded waterways or offshore routes, a radar system from BOE Marine will enhance your safety and confidence.

5. NMEA Cables & Sensors

NMEA (National Marine Electronics Association) cables and sensors are essential for connecting and integrating various marine electronics, such as GPS units, radars, fish finders, and autopilots. These systems communicate using the NMEA protocol, allowing data to be shared seamlessly between devices. BOE Marine offers a wide selection of NMEA cables and sensors to help you establish a reliable and efficient marine electronics network. Whether you need NMEA 0183 or NMEA 2000 components, BOE Marine has everything you need to connect your instruments and improve the overall functionality of your boat’s navigation systems.

Whether you're looking for standalone units or integrated systems that combine several functions, you'll find high-quality options at BOE Marine.

7. AIS Systems

AIS (Automatic Identification System) is an essential tool for identifying nearby vessels and avoiding collisions. AIS systems send and receive information about your boat’s position, speed, and course, while also displaying the same data for other nearby vessels. This is particularly useful in busy shipping lanes or in low-visibility conditions. BOE Marine carries both AIS transceivers and receivers, allowing you to stay informed and navigate safely.

8. Fishfinder Only

For anglers, a dedicated fishfinder is an invaluable tool. These devices use sonar technology to locate fish and provide detailed images of the underwater environment. BOE Marine offers a range of fishfinder units that are designed to suit various types of fishing, from freshwater lakes to deep-sea expeditions. With high-resolution displays and advanced sonar features, these fishfinders will help you locate your next big catch with precision.

9. Ice Flashers

Ice fishing requires specialized equipment, and an ice flasher is one of the most important tools for winter anglers. Ice flashers provide real-time sonar readings, allowing you to monitor fish activity and bottom structure beneath the ice. BOE Marine offers a selection of high-quality ice flashers that deliver fast, accurate data, helping you make the most of your ice fishing trips.

10. Cameras & Night Vision

Navigating in low-light conditions or total darkness can be challenging, which is why marine cameras and night vision systems are so important. BOE Marine carries a variety of cameras and night vision systems that allow you to see clearly in difficult conditions. From thermal imaging cameras to high-definition video systems, these devices can help you monitor your surroundings, avoid obstacles, and ensure your safety on the water.
