Sensar Marine Boat + Bilge Monitor: elegant monitoring simplified

In my mind, boat monitors fall into one of two categories: high-end systems that can do everything and simple systems focused on key systems. The former category typically includes all manner of sensors, network interfaces, and other options. Monitors in the latter category focus on monitoring critical indicators of a boat’s health. Depending on the size, complexity, and use of a boat, there are scenarios that fit both categories. Sensar Marine’s Boat and Bilge Monitor focuses on critical systems and may be the most refined example I’ve tested. Overall, I was pleased with how the monitor worked while seeing a few opportunities for even better performance.

Digital Yacht CO Alert carbon monoxide alarm with NMEA 2000 integration

Carbon Monoxide (CO) poisoning kills boaters every year. Odourless, tasteless and generated from incomplete  combustion from engines, cookers, heaters, outboards, generators etc, it’s a real threat to boating safety. When CO  enters the body, it prevents the blood from bringing oxygen to cells, tissues, and organs. Because you can’t see it, taste  it or smell it, CO will kill quickly without warning. Small concentrations over a long period or high concentrations over a  short period can kill…
