  • Every model now ships with a dedicated helm keypad for quick push button control complementing the touchscreen
  • Powered by Dometic Interact and integrated into SportLink this digital switching UI helps set Sportsman Boats apart as a premium offering

For model year 2026, Sportsman Boats has introduced a brand new user interface for our digital switching system, part of the SportLink® system. This upgrade is designed to add a premium experience with custom branded pages on your MFD and it is guaranteed to make controlling your boat’s systems easier, faster, and more intuitive. This design also makes buttons larger, easier to see and easier to press while underway in comparison to the standard digital switching page.


Easy Access Through Garmin MFD

The redesigned interface is accessed in the same area as the previous switching page, select home, vessel and then the Sportsman Boat icon under the vessel tab. This will load up your custom Sportsman Boats digital switching screen, once open, systems are organized into 3 simple categories:

Lights
Pumps
Other onboard functions like the actuated forward vent window

A toolbar along the bottom of the screen provides quick access to important boat data, keeping information clear and easy to find.

Added Convenience at the Helm

New in 2024 was the custom keypad at the helm for all models 24' and under, for 2026 we will now equip every model with it's very own custom keypad. This addition gives you quick, push-button control for commonly used functions, working in tandem with the touchscreen for a flexible experience.
