Abstract: A boat anchor monitoring system is disclosed and includes an anchor module operable to communicate with a base module. The anchor module includes a transmitter operable to transmit a signal containing a data payload on a set schedule. The base module on the boat is operable to determine if the signal strength exceeds, or is equal to a predetermined threshold value, in order to direct a status indicator to either display the anchor in a “Deployed” or “Not Deployed” position. The system may further include a time measurement component or water contact sensor that will direct the indicator to display the anchor in a deployed position if sufficient time has elapsed with no signal or the anchor module has contacted water. The system is also configured to prevent ignition if the anchor is determined to be deployed.

Abstract: A device for acoustic communication of coded multi-channel digital messages in a liquid medium. The device is designed to use a single carrier frequency and includes the use of acoustic transducers in signal communication, and may include interfaces for communication with a variety of peripherals, host computing devices, and user communication and control devices. The device incorporates effective methods of encoding, transmitting, receiving, decoding, and acknowledgment of digital signals for achieving the desired level of reliability, bi-directional communication and multi-channel capability. The device is a communication subsystem configured to provide communication with another device of the present invention.
