A system for maintaining a marine vessel in place in a body of water includes a controller in signal communication with a power-deployable anchor and a propulsion-based electronic anchoring system and a user input device in signal communication with the controller. The controller deploys the power-deployable anchor in response to a single user-selected option input via the user input device under a first set of conditions. The controller activates the propulsion-based electronic anchoring system in response to the single user-selected option input via the user input device under a different second set of conditions.

Anchoring system for a marine vessel

A system is provided for updating user interfaces of marine electronic devices. The system includes determining available devices and receiving user input to determine information such as fishing location, fishing style, fish type, and fishing depth. The system also includes determining a plurality of screen setups to present to a user based on the received user input and the determined available devices. The system then enables selection from among the plurality of screen setups by the user and causes the marine electronic device to operate according to the selected screen setup. The system may optimize settings based on the user input. Further, a system is provided for connecting an unconnected device to a marine electronic device. A system is also provided for communicating information about an unconnected device on a watercraft to a user.
