Vanemar Boat Monitor: Slick wireless monitoring, with a catch

Vanemar’s monitoring system joins a rather crowded field of monitoring products with their own spin on how best to monitor your boat. With a strong reliance on wireless sensors, extensive NMEA 2000 integration, and an emphasis on user experience throughout the product, Vanemar makes their case for consideration when selecting a monitor. But, currently the lack of bilge pump monitoring holds me back from a full throated recommendation.

MIBS 2024: Skyhawk Oversea, a fresh look at monitoring

Boat monitoring isn’t a new concept or product category. Heck, it’s been 17 years since Ben E. wrote up the first monitors on Panbo. So, you may be wondering what could be so new that my fellow judges and I awarded SkyHawk Oversea at MIBS this year. The short answer is a lot. The longer answer is Skyhawk took a fresh look at most of what we know about boat monitoring and came up with something very different. Will it work? Honestly, I don’t know. But I sure do love the paradigm-pushing approach they took.
