FLEXIBILITY
Built around the boat. Not the other way around.
Every boat is different. Its electronic control system should be too.
Marlin’s M-Flex™ system gives boat builders the flexibility to configure controls around different boat models, layouts and electrical requirements, while helping simplify wiring and reduce potential points of failure.
Simplify Wiring
Reduce lengthy wire runs and streamline installation with distributed digital control.
Configure Your Way
Select the controller configuration that fits the needs of each boat instead of designing around a fixed system.
Control From Anywhere
Control onboard loads your way, using Marlin keypads, compatible multifunction displays, or Bluetooth control from your phone.
Customize the Experience
Create intuitive control experiences with configurable functions, icons and RGB lighting.
THE SYSTEM
One flexible system. More possibilities on board.
DIGITAL SWITCHING → RGB CONTROL → KEYPADS → MFD INTEGRATION → CAN NETWORK
M-Flex Digital Switching
Smart, distributed control that simplifies wiring while giving builders flexibility across different boat configurations. Marlin’s current family includes digital switchers designed for different I/O requirements and distributed installations throughout a vessel.
RGB Control
Create greater control over onboard lighting through flexible RGB control integrated into the Marlin system.
Keypads
Rugged, customizable CAN keypads provide intuitive control with configurable LED lighting and available Bluetooth capabilities. IP67/IP69K-rated with options including Bluetooth and J1939 support.
MFD Integration
Bring vessel control directly to the helm. Marlin’s MFD Gateway enables loads controlled by the digital switching system to also be controlled through supported Garmin and Simrad multifunction displays.
