Sportsman Boats’ all-new digital switching UI, built into the SportLink® system, delivers a cleaner, more intuitive experience for 2026 models. With touchscreen access on Garmin MFDs and a dedicated keypad at the helm, boaters can manage key systems quickly and easily.
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.
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.
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.
Powered by the Dometic Interact system, this digital switching UI is fully customized for Sportsman and integrated into the SportLink® system. It’s a clean, functional solution that gives owners a smarter way to run their boats. This is a small addition that customers have requested and helps set Sportsman apart as a more premium product.
