Economical Boat Monitoring
Many boat hazards occur at the dock:
- A recreational vessel is four times more likely to sink at the dock than anywhere else.
- Through-hulls, clamps, and hoses can fail, allowing water in. Stuffing boxes and mechanical shaft seals can leak.
- Disconnected shore power can take a battery charger offline, eventually depleting the batteries.
- Bilge water levels can rise if bilge pumps are not powered.
- Loss of shore power can also cause onboard refrigerators and bait boxes to fail.
- Depleted batteries can require expensive replacement, or cause a lengthy departure delay to recharge batteries.
- Freezing cabin temperatures can damage plumbing or other items onboard.
- Unexpected location changes can indicate vessel theft, vandalism, or detachment from moorage.
