Collision Avoidance & One-Touch DSC

  • Alerts if your anchor is dragging, and activates MOB alarms for immediate retrieval 
  • Instead of ambiguous bells or tones, Cortex sounds the alarm with voiced alerts that escalate until acknowledged

  • Initiate direct calls (DSC) with other vessels by simply tapping the vessel on your handset touchscreen 
  • Initiate VHF calls to friends or quickly hail another vessel when every second counts

  • The Cortex Monitor Premium subscription unlocks real-time vessel status, instant alerts, and device control for boat systems like refrigerators, icemakers, lights, or heaters

Anchor Watch
