Hey guys. I’ve been working with Michael from https://www.theonegauge.com/
He has designed a way to transmit engine parameters wirelessly to a tablet or lcd screen. I know there are already similar products out there but they are pretty expensive.
What I love about his system is it’s totally customizable. You simply install the sensor, wire it to the hub then the information is transmitted to the tablet. So no running wires all over the boat. And you can take the tablet with you from upper helm to lower with out having two separate lcd’s.
So here are some things that I want monitored. I’d love to hear your thoughts. And please let me know if there’s something that I haven’t thought of that should be monitored.
The boat is a 1986 47’ Marine Trader with two Lehman 225’s
Engines:
Oil pressure
Oil temp
Water pressure
Water temp
Boost
Transmission temp
Fuel filter vacuum
Boat:
Bildge pumps
High water alarm
Fresh water gauge
Holding tank gauge
AC and DC voltage gauges
GPS
The idea is I’d be able to monitor everything via the tablet even when I’m away from the boat. I believe I should be able to also get notifications on my phone if something changes from the norm (high water alarm, shore power dropping off; boat moving (stollen))
What do you guys think? The most difficult part will be installing the sensors, but American Diesel should be able to help me with that.
Thanks guys!
