MERCURY Marine has launched its new Theft Deterrent System (TDS).
Inspired by automotive security systems, the TDS provides ease-of-mind by making your boat unattractive to the bad guys. The TDS is built around an easily-fitted docking station and two fob keys.
When you fit one of the fob keys into the docking station your boat’s engine or engines will operate completely normally.
However, without the correct fob the engine/s will only operate at a severely restricted power range. The engines are not totally immobilised, so that in an emergency the boat can always be moved albeit very slowly.
Each fob carries a transponder which interfaces with the docking station, transmitting radio signals which are sent to the engine’s computer system via Mercury’s proprietary controlled area network messaging system.
Mercury’s new Theft Deterrent System is now available for SmartCraft-enabled 40, 50, 60 and new 150 HP EFI FourStroke outboards.
