Since smartphones hit the scene, boaters have used weather and navigation apps to get even more enjoyment from their on-the-water lifestyle. And with recent innovations in onboard technology, many boat brands are helping boaters feel even more connected to the boating lifestyle with mobile apps that let them participate more impactfully.
These apps are gaining popularity, allowing people to log their memories and providing educational resources to help them captain more confidently. The apps also help them keep up with maintenance, enhance their safety, prepare their boats and plan ahead to create the perfect day on the water.
If you’re a Harris owner, the My Harris mobile app lets you live the Harris experience on or off the water.
The app lets you enter your Harris pontoon and marina details as well as your boating registration. This keeps the information accessible at a moment’s notice, and it eliminates the risk of losing or damaging important documentation.
The FAQ section on the app is packed with information to help you prepare your pontoon for the season, perform basic maintenance tasks and better understand your boat. Customize the app’s pre-populated checklists to help get your boat ready for the next outing or pack for a family fun day—without forgetting the snacks.
Keeping an eye on the weather helps you enjoy a comfortable day and better ensure your safety and the safety of your passengers. The app’s weather forecasting gives you up-to-the-moment information about current and upcoming conditions tailored to your location.
Never forget a perfect day on the water. My Harris lets you log every trip. Add photos, take notes and save your memories in the app. You can even use this feature to plan your next excursion.
If your Harris has Mercury® VesselView Mobile® capabilities, you can check in on your boat’s live engine data and receive alerts about issues. You can also log maintenance and service so you always have your boat’s history at your fingertips.
Only the app gets you access to special owner-only promotions on Harris gear and accessories. The rise of boating apps allows owners to become even more immersed in the lifestyle. Easy-to-use, intuitive apps like My Harris help them boat with more confidence and get more out of their time on the water than ever before.
The app is currently only available in the U.S.
