Check Out These 5 Boating Apps!

Apps are the wave of the future. They allow you to do almost anything you can do on your desktop computer via a mobile device. Now there are numerous apps available for boating safety, checklists for boating gear, maintenance and fuel expense trackers, and more! Next time you are boating at the Lake of the Ozarks, install some of these nifty boating apps to your mobile device:

Boat Propeller Calculator


Turn your mobile device into an invaluable tool applicable for any performance boating application. Marine Propeller Calculator enumerates propeller slip or any of the related variables, propeller Pitch, Gear Ratio, Engine RPM, or actual speed. Propeller slip refers to the difference between actual and theoretical forward movement of the boat. Get this app on Google Play.

Boat Ramps


If you travel with your boat, this app from www.TakeMeFishing.org will help you quickly locate and get directions to more than 35,000 boat ramps throughout the United States. Boat Ramps has an easy-to-use interface and provides a list of ramps close to your location or any address, zip code or city you enter into the application. Once you've found the boat ramp you are looking for, the app can even provide you with directions to the desired ramp. They have recently added an option to allow you to submit a new ramp or marina. Get this app on Google Play and the App Store.
