The system offers a simple and clever way for boaters to embrace all the boat’s features for a longer, smoother, and more eco-friendly day on the water. Presently active on the Sea Ray SLX-R 400e, Fathom has been selected for the CES Breakthrough Award for 2021. The product will soon be used in additional models of boats and propulsion systems.
