STYLISH DATA

Anyone who cruises with Evinrude outboards can bolster their helm’s look with Nautilus 3.5 color screens ($550 to $750), available with or without GPS. Preset pages display engine metrics, and fuel and fluid levels, while mode selection lets skippers adjust power steering and trim assist. Various homepages show information ranging from rpm to fuel consumption to pressure levels. Evinrude, evinrude.com

WIRELESS JUICE

Scanstrut’s Rokk Wireless-Active ($150) delivers waterproof, wireless chargeability to popular phones (including some Apple and Samsung models). It has a helm-mounted dock whose self-aligning jaws grip and hold the phone as it charges, through any nonmetallic case. For safety, Scanstrut’s Rokk Wireless-Active charging stations also sport a thermal cutoff feature. Scanstrut, scanstrut.com

Both models have hybrid touchscreen/hard-key user interfaces and are preloaded with Garmin’s BlueChart g3 and LakeVu g3 cartography. For anglers, EchoMap Ultra ships with a GT54UHD-TM transducer, which delivers standard sonar, chirp sonar and more. Garmin, garmin.com
