Abstract

An boat alarm system comprising a remote transmitter having a sensor and a transmitter antenna; a land-based station having a station antenna; and whereby said sensor, in response to a condition, triggers the remote transmitter to transmit a first signal via said transmitter antenna, said first signal is received by said land-based station via a station antenna, said land-based station then sends a second signal that calls a predesignated phone number.

Claims

1. A boat alarm system comprising:

a remote transmitter having a transmitter antenna;

a land-based station having a station antenna; and

whereby a sensor disposed in a boat, triggers said remote transmitter to transmit a first signal via said transmitter antenna, said first signal is received by said land-based station via said station antenna, said land-based station then sends a second signal that calls a predesignated phone number.

2. The boat alarm system of claim 1, further comprising:

said land-based station being programmable via a touchpad that is disposed on a front face of said land-based station for programming said predesignated phone numbers.

3. The boat alarm system of claim 1, further comprising:

said land-based station having a screen disposed on a front face for displaying data.

4. The boat alarm system of claim 1, further comprising:

said land-based station having an indicator light disposed on a front face.

5. The boat alarm system of claim 1, further comprising:

said land-based station having a housing, said housing containing a phone line jack for receiving a phone line, whereby said land-based station uses the phone line to send said second signal and call said predesignated phone number.

6. The boat alarm system of claim 1, further comprising:

said land-based station having a cellular antenna to send said second signal to a predesignated phone number via cellular technology.

7. The emergency alert system of claim 1, further comprising:

said first signal being a radio frequency signal.

8. The boat alarm system of claim 1, further comprising:

said remote transmitter being in a boat.

9. The boat alarm system of claim 1, further comprising:

said land-based station being positioned off of a boat.

10. The boat alarm system of claim 1, further comprising:

said land-based station being positioned in a marina.

11. The boat alarm system of claim 1, further comprising:

said remote transmitter being hermetically sealed.

12. The boat alarm system of claim 1, further comprising:

said remote transmitter being powered by a battery.

13. The boat alarm system of claim 1, further comprising:
