Locmarine?

We have one in our boat! works perfectly fine!
 
Price seems a bit high.

while this does have some extra features, a GPS tracker can be had for 1/3rd upfront and 1/3rd monthly costs.
 
I agree, you can get any GPS tracker for less than half of the locmarine price.. But... We didn't buy it for just the tracking, we bought it because we monitor our battery health, we now know anytime someone opens our engine cowling, and if the charger is plugged in.. We didn't connect the bilge pump or high water since is a whaler and is self bail.
We looked at comparable systems like gost and siren marine and locmarine is a 1/3 of the cost of gost and about half of sirenmarine, First year of service is free and we will pay $168 to renew.
Good thing is.. I know my boat is ready to be used when I'm ready and I don't have to waist half a day looking for jumper cables again because someone unplug my charger :)
