Device and system for preventing theft of marine electronics

A system for preventing theft of marine electronics, comprising:

• at least one bracket configured to be mounted to a hull of a vessel, wherein the at least one bracket includes a projection and at least one first orifice defined through the projection, wherein the at least one first orifice is configured to receive at least one lock therein;
• a panel configured to be secured to the hull of the vessel by the at least one bracket, wherein the panel includes at least one second orifice configured to receive the projection of the bracket therein to secure the panel to the hull of the vessel, wherein the panel is configured to substantially cover at least one marine electronics unit to prevent theft of the at least one marine electronics unit;
• and
• at least one handle extending from the panel, wherein the at least one handle is configured to move the panel between a first orientation in which the projection of the bracket is arranged in the second orifice of the panel to secure the panel to the hull of the vessel, and a second orientation in which the panel is removed from the hull of the vessel,
• wherein the at least one bracket includes:
• a first bracket configured to be mounted to a first side of a center console of the hull of the vessel;
• and
• a second bracket configured to be mounted to a second side of the center console of the hull of the vessel,
• wherein the first bracket includes the projection, and wherein the second bracket includes a channel configured to receive at least one protrusion extending from a rear surface of the panel, wherein the rear surface of the panel is configured to face the at least one marine electronics unit.

• wherein the at least one handle includes:
• a first projection extending from a bottom end portion of the at least one panel;
• a second projection extending from an upper end portion of the at least one panel;
• a connecting portion connecting the first projection and the second projection;
• and
• at least one extension portion extending from the connecting portion to the panel between the first projection and the second projection, wherein the at least one extension portion is configured to conceal a lock arranged in the first orifice;
• and wherein the lock arranged in the first orifice is configured to be opened by a near field communication (NFC) device, a key fob, a Bluetooth signal, or an electromagnetic signal.
