Abstract: A system for monitoring conditions of a marine vessel, the system comprising: a monitoring enclosure; the monitoring enclosure comprising: a monitoring device circuit board; a cell phone module in communication with the monitoring device circuit board; a GPS receiver in communication with the monitoring device circuit board, and the cell phone module; a satellite modem in communication with the monitoring device circuit board, the GPS receiver, and the cell phone module; a bus input in communication with the monitoring device circuit board, and configurable to be in communication with a marine vessel data bus; and where the monitoring enclosure is configurable to be in communication with an internet and provide marine vessel operating conditions to a website. A method for transmitting operating conditions of a marine vessel.

Abstract: A programmable multifunction speedometer, wherein a sensor responding to drive train motion provides input pulses related to speed of vehicle travel, the pulses being input to a programmable microprocessor that has been programmed at least to drive an instantaneous and continuously correct display of speed, the microprocessor having a first input device for receiving programming from an external source, and a second input device for modifying programming during speedometer operation. The programming includes a self-calibrating mode operated by a manual switch to start and stop a counted succession of the input pulses.
