Captain Wearable Fob Passenger Wearable Fob Mobile Device App
THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM (TDS)
TDS can lock your engine(s) to prevent unauthorized use.
With 1st Mate, you can unlock the vessel via proximity of the
captain’s wearable and/or the “unlock function” of the app
(via PIN, fingerprint, face recognition, etc.).
Mercury SmartCraft engines can also allow
high-idle operation for service access to the
vessel without unlocking it.
If compatible Mercury SmartCraft engines are removed
from a boat, they are rendered nonfunctional without the
unlocking “handshake” from the 1st Mate hub.
