Imagine heading out on the water without a single worry about your boat's onboard systems. The Garmin OnDeck™ Relay Switch steps in as your reliable partner, letting you toggle lights, pumps, or other 12V devices from anywhere using the intuitive OnDeck Hub and mobile app. Boat owners rave about the freedom it brings—check on your vessel or activate essentials remotely, even when you're miles away at the dock or office.

Unlock Remote Control for Your Boat's Essentials

Designed specifically for marine environments, this 12V relay switch integrates seamlessly with the OnDeck Hub. It's not just a simple on/off tool; it's built to handle the demands of saltwater exposure and constant vessel motion. Whether you're prepping for a trip by running the bilge pump ahead of time or securing lights after dark, this switch puts control at your fingertips.

Standout Features That Deliver Real Value

• Robust 12V Operation: Functions smoothly within a 10 Vdc to 15.6 Vdc range, matching most boat electrical systems for hassle-free performance.
• Scalable Setup: Connect up to five relay switches to a single OnDeck Hub, customizing control over multiple circuits without complexity.
• Weatherproof Durability: Engineered with marine-grade materials to withstand humidity, splashes, and vibrations common on boats.
• Instant App Integration: Pair it effortlessly with the Garmin app for real-time status updates and one-tap activation.
• Energy Efficient: Low power draw ensures it won't drain your battery during extended monitoring periods.

How the Relay Switch Enhances Your OnDeck System

At the heart of the OnDeck ecosystem, the relay switch acts as an extension of your command center. Wire it to any 12V load—like deck lights for nighttime arrivals, a bait pump for fishing prep, or ventilation fans—and control it via cellular connectivity. The Hub relays your commands securely, providing notifications if something needs attention. It's like having a crew member who's always on duty, giving you peace of mind whether you're aboard or ashore.

Simple Integration into Your Vessel

Boat maintenance shouldn't feel like a chore. This relay switch installs with basic wiring skills: connect to your 12V power source, link to the Hub, and configure through the app. No need for specialized tools or marine electricians. Pro tip: Mount it in a dry, accessible spot near your electrical panel to keep things tidy and protected from the elements. Once set up, you'll wonder how you managed without remote oversight.

Ideal Uses for Everyday Boaters and Pros

From weekend cruisers to charter captains, this switch shines in practical scenarios:

• Remote bilge pump activation to clear water before hauling out.
• Turning on courtesy lights for safe nighttime boarding.
• Operating bait aerators or livewells from the dock.
• Switching generators or inverters on demand.

It's a game-changer for liveaboards too, allowing quick responses to unexpected needs without constant physical checks.
