  • Built for the marine environment Fusion head units offer water resistance UV protection and corrosion resistance for reliable performance.
  • Seamless Garmin integration via Fusion-Link lets you control audio from Garmin displays while reducing devices and keeping the dash clean.
  • Multi-zone audio control plus mobile friendly features via Fusion-Link app built-in WiFi and Apple AirPlay 2 let you fine tune sound from anywhere.

When it comes to controlling your boat’s audio system, convenience and reliability are everything. You need quick access, intuitive controls, and the confidence that your system will perform every time—whether you’re headed offshore or anchored up with family and friends.

That’s where Fusion® marine head units stand out. As a Garmin brand, Fusion products are purpose-built for the marine environment and engineered for seamless integration with Garmin’s onboard electronics. On every Sportsman Boat equipped with the SportTuun® system, Fusion is at the heart of the experience—delivering powerful functionality, smart connectivity, and total control right from your helm.

Built for the Marine Environment

Fusion’s head units are designed specifically for life on the water. With water-resistant construction, UV protection, and corrosion-resistant components, these units are built to withstand years of sun, salt and spray—without skipping a beat. Large, high-contrast displays and tactile controls make them easy to operate, even with wet hands or in rough conditions.

Seamless Integration with Garmin

One of the biggest advantages of using Fusion® on a Sportsman Boat is its tight integration with Garmin multifunction displays. Thanks to Fusion-Link™, you can control your entire audio system—including zones, volume, source and individual track selection—directly from your Garmin screen.

Whether you’re running the boat from the helm or adjusting volume from the bow, it’s all connected. This means fewer devices to manage, a cleaner dash, and a more streamlined experience for everyone on board.

On models 26 feet and up, we include the Fusion Apollo™ MS-RA770, the industry’s first touchscreen marine head unit with built-in Wi-Fi, DSP (Digital Signal Processing), and Apple AirPlay® 2. Smaller models come standard with the MS-RA670, which packs the same core features in a more compact form.

Smart Audio Control, Wherever You Are

Fusion doesn’t just integrate with Garmin—it plays well with your mobile devices too. With the Fusion-Link™ app, you can adjust the music from your phone or smartwatch while relaxing at the sandbar or seated in the bow lounge.

The system also supports multi-zone audio, so you can fine-tune the volume in different parts of the boat independently. Want music pumping at the transom while keeping it quieter up front for conversation? Done.

With the Fusion system at the core of every SportTuun® setup, Sportsman owners get more than just high-quality audio—they get a fully integrated, easy-to-use system that keeps them focused on the experience, not fumbling with controls. And because it’s built on the Garmin platform you already trust, everything works together out of the box.

Smart. Seamless. Built for the water. That’s what Fusion brings to the helm.
