Distributed Controls

Through the use of multiple controllers that communicate with each other Marlin is creating a better boat experience. Now with three different switcher choices, the possibilities are endless.

Key Benefits of Distributed Controls:

• The added flexibility that comes from the use of distributed controls allows builders to build the boat their way
• Controllers are distributed throughout the boat which results in less wiring used throughout the boat and a more elegant and simple design.
• Less wiring leads to less labor costs which helps you save on the cost of both material and labor.
• This creates a more reliable experience by having fewer points of failure and providing more stability.
