This app connects to BILGE-B-DRY. It allows you to run the pump on demand or define scheduled run times and durations. The current status of the pump is displayed in the app. Configure water sensors, adjust settings, and view system event history including charts of pump activity over time. BILGE-B-DRY is the most affordable dry bilge system on the market with wireless connectivity to smart devices, automatic use and easy installation. BILGE-B-DRY is your answer to a cleaner bilge reducing boat odors, mold, and mildew. Removing the excess water helps to reduce corrosion and wear protecting electrical wiring, thru-hull sensors and transducers. Don't forget about stepped hulls, with water laying stagnant forward of the step. The system is available in four configurations: single pump, dual pump, triple pump and quad pump.

Create The X – Manage Habitat, Water, Equipment & Mapping in One App Whether you're running a small family farm or managing thousands of acres as an outfitter, Create The X gives you the tools to take your land and habitat to their highest potential. Water Control Stay on top of every wetland unit. Log water levels, track drawdowns, record pump activity, and mark every water-management action directly on the map. Each adjustment is automatically saved to your calendar so you always know what you did—and when. GPS Mapping Map tasks as you work with built-in GPS. Mowing, tilling, planting, spraying—the app tracks your path automatically and calculates acreage in real time. Each completed map is saved as an overlay so you can reference exactly what was done and the date it happened. No guessing, no extra equipment—just tap Start and go. Dike & Levee Damage Tracking Never lose track of problem areas. Mark muskrat holes, beaver dams, washouts, erosion cuts, equipment ruts, and other trouble spots with pins on your map. Pins stay visible until repairs are logged as fixed, ensuring nothing gets forgotten. Mapping & Acreage Tools Stop estimating and start planning with accuracy. Draw wetlands, impoundments, food plots, timber edges, and more directly on the map to get instant acreage calculations. Know exactly how much seed, fertilizer, or material you need before you begin. Save unlimited maps for every farm, lease, or property—perfect for outfitters and multi-property managers who need clean, organized layouts. Equipment & Maintenance Keep tractors, pumps, ATVs, and implements on schedule. Store equipment photos, repair notes, oil changes, belts, filters, and hydraulic service all in one place. Receive reminders before maintenance is due so breakdowns don’t delay your habitat work. Activity Calendar Every log you create—mowing, planting, pumping, repairs, blind brushing, board adjustments—automatically appears on your calendar. Entries save year to year so you can compare seasons, track consistency, and make smarter habitat decisions over time. Subscriptions available in monthly and annual terms.
