CommandBOSS by Keenan Filters Redefines Fuel Management for Catamarans

The most advanced fuel control system ever developed for catamarans has arrived. Keenan Filters, the manufacturer behind the trusted FilterBOSS fuel management systems, has introduced CommandBOSS—a fully integrated, bridge-mounted fuel control hub designed to keep dual-engine vessels running safely, efficiently, and with zero downtime.

Unlike traditional systems that require entering the engine compartment, CommandBOSS puts complete fuel system control at the helm, allowing the operator to address fuel-related issues instantly—without ever stopping the engines.

This next-generation system offers a first-of-its-kind full-function control panel that remotely manages all fuel filtration and fuel transfer tasks. From the cockpit, operators can:

• Switch fuel filters instantly in case of clogging

• Balance fuel loads between port and starboard tanks

• Polish fuel across multiple tanks to maintain cleanliness and reduce engine wear

Given that most diesel engine failures are fuel-related, CommandBOSS gives boaters a critical edge in preventing problems before they start.

Optimized for dual-engine catamarans, the system is ideal for both new builds and retrofits. It includes:

• Two MK60DP Dual Filter units with electric manifolds

• A K1000 helm control panel

• Interface box

• Two 45-foot cables for plug-and-play installation

Installers should note that CommandBOSS requires a dual filter setup per engine, inter-hull fuel transfer lines, and standard connections between fuel tanks and engine lines. Monohull boat owners can still enjoy similar benefits through Keenan’s FB Command system.

“CommandBOSS puts full fuel system control in the cockpit,” says Andy Keenan, founder and fuel systems expert. “It’s about safety, convenience, and performance—especially in challenging conditions.”
