Abstract
Systems and methods for assisting an operator of a marine vessel. The system includes a cover that covers a portion of the marine vessel, the cover having an external surface. A light element is operable to change an appearance of the external surface thereof. A controller is operatively coupled to the light element. The controller is configured to receive an input indicating that attention is recommended for a component, to determine whether the component is proximate to the cover, and, when the component is determined to be proximate to the cover, to operate the light element to change the appearance of the cover to thereby assist the operator in locating the component for which attention is recommended.
