“It is clear to us that Manitou, along with other boatbuilders, are taking note of the lasting, high-quality marine audio Fusion can deliver for their boats. We take great pride in the reputation that Fusion is building with each new OEM we supply,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of global consumer sales. “With Garmin marine electronics already aboard Manitou pontoons, the added convenience of Fusion-Link seamless audio integration is sure to bring an incomparable on-the-water experience that Manitou customers can trust for years to come.”
