Get the most out of your Quad Lock mount on the water with apps specifically for boating, fishing and kayaking.
We’ve rounded up some of the best marine apps that will help you plan the best time to go fishing, make for easy navigation while boating, and track your trips when kayaking.
Using Quad Lock to mount your smartphone keeps it secure while on the water, and within easy reach for you to keep an eye on the weather conditions, record your catches as they happen, and keep in touch with your contacts. We all know some apps can drain your battery, so we recommend adding our Weatherproof Wireless Charger Head to keep your phone’s battery in the green all day. You can also add our Poncho to protect your smartphone from sea spray or splashes of water.
