Configuration

To configure the Garmin OnBoard™ engine cutoff system and MOB tags, on a connected chartplotter select Settings menu > Communications > Wireless Devices > OnBoard MOB System > MOB Tags, then select the name of a tag if necessary.

Role

Changes the role of an MOB tag.

NOTE: The Garmin OnBoard engine cutoff system must have at least one paired tag with the Captain role assigned. To change the role of an existing tag from Captain to Passenger, there must be more than one paired tag with the Captain role.
Rename

Changes the name assigned to a tag for easier identification. Changing the name does not change the role.

Review

Shows the status and other information about a tag.

Review > Remove Device

Unpairs and removes a tag from the Garmin OnBoard engine cutoff system.

Turn Off

Turns off a tag.

Protect

Changes the protection status of a tag. Protected tags trigger actions when leaving range of the hub, disarmed tags do not trigger actions. Tags are protected by default, and can be disarmed for a set period of time before automatically becoming protected again (Disarming an MOB Tag).

Reacquire In

Available only when a tag is disarmed. Temporarily changes the time for when a disarmed tag automatically becomes protected again. If the tag is out-of-range when this time elapses, it will become protected again as soon as it is in range and connects to the hub.

New Connection

Begins the pairing process on the hub to connect a new MOB tag.
