Methods and systems described herein can assist a user when loading a watercraft onto a trailer (e.g., at a boat ramp). For example, position data generated by sensor(s) coupled to the watercraft and/or trailer can cause one or more propulsion devices associated with the watercraft to automatically (e.g., without user intervention) position the watercraft onto the trailer, for example, by controlling the power and/or thrust direction of the propulsion device(s).

Systems and methods for loading a watercraft on a trailer

Many different types of systems are utilized and tasks are performed in a marine environment. The present invention provides various configurations of castable devices that can be operated and/or controlled for such systems or tasks. One or more castable devices can be integrated with a transducer assembly, such as a phased array, that emits sonar beams and receives sonar returns from the underwater environment. Processing circuitry may receive the sonar returns, process the sonar returns, generate an image, and transmit the image to a display.

Castable sonar devices and operations in a marine environment

Systems, assemblies, and methods for conveniently operating marine devices associated with a watercraft are provided herein. An example system includes a controller, a sensor module, and a marine device. The controller is configured to receive a user input indicating a desired action via the sensor module and transmit a signal to the marine device to cause the marine device to operate in a particular manner. The sensor module may include one or more motion sensors, and the controller may be configured to filter unintentional movement from the raw motion data sensed by the sensor module, such as due to movement of the watercraft floating on the surface of the water. Thus, the system may enable convenient and intuitive control over various marine devices associated with the watercraft.

Systems and methods for controlling operations of marine vessels

A computing device is configured to receive a plurality of sets of sonar data, current locations associated with the sonar data, and condition parameters associated with the plurality of sets of sonar data from one or more marine electronic devices. The computing device receives a request from a user to display a condition and location based fishing activity s report. The request indicating a location and a condition parameter associated with desired fishing activity. The computing device filters the plurality of sets of the sonar data based on the request to generate a fishing activity report including one or more portions of the plurality of sets of the sonar data that are associated with the indicated location and the condition parameter and causes display of the fishing activity report on a screen such that the one or more portions of the plurality of sets of the sonar data are displayed.
