A system for directing actions of a helmsman of a lifeboat has a lifeboat with a connector at opposite ends thereof, a shackle sensor cooperative with each of the connectors so as to sense whether the shackle is engaged or released from the connector, and a display positioned within the lifeboat that is cooperative with the shackle sensor so as to provide the helmsman with a visual indication of the engagement or release of the shackle from the connector. Each of the connectors has a hook pivotally mounted thereto. A hook sensor is cooperative at the hook so as to sense whether the hook is in the open position or the closed position. Water sensors are mounted to the lifeboat so as to sense whether the lifeboat has contacted a surface of the body of water. The various sensors are cooperative with the display so as to provide the helmsman with a sequence of operations during the use of the lifeboat.
