Lately my blog entries have been sporadic, but that doesn’t mean I’ve become lazy. Boat chores keep recurring on a regular basis I do not want to bore you with, but there were interesting developments I’d like to share with you. To start off, Benno a…

Keeping Cool
The additional monitoring sensors I installed in our NMEA2000 system this winter has provided a wealth of data. One tidbit was the temperature of the two AC transformers (isolation and step-down) in our electrical system. I was surprised at the the inc…

Keeping Track of Things
The largest project on the boat this winter has been to take advantage of the NMEA2000 backbone running through our boat and increase the level of system monitoring that we do. When Seahorse Marine built our boat a couple of years ago, we had them in…
