<\/p>\n
The boat engine battery is essential for several functions :<\/p>\n
- \n
- Powers<\/strong> the starter motor to start<\/strong> the engine<\/li>\n
- Supplies electricity to the boat’s electrical systems when the engine is off.<\/li>\n
- Stabilizes voltage<\/strong> to protect electrical components<\/li>\n
- Serves as an emergency power<\/strong> source in case of alternator<\/strong> failure<\/li>\n
- Stores<\/strong> energy produced by the alternator\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Imagine the following situation: you arrive at the dock<\/strong>, eager to start a day’s sailing<\/strong>. <\/span>You climb aboard your boat and start it up, but instead of hearing a roaring engine, you are greeted by silence.<\/span> The engine <\/span>won’t<\/span> start because the battery has failed.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
In the best-case scenario, the battery is flat and needs recharging. This is annoying, and your navigation will have to be delayed for several hours while the engine battery<\/strong> recharges<\/span> (for reminder, it is also advisable to avoid overloading the battery)<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n
However, in certain cases, the scenario can get worse. <\/span>If the battery type is deep discharge<\/strong>, <\/span>the fact that it is flat can seriously damage it, and a change may be necessary. <\/span>Not only will this cancel your day’s <\/span>saili<\/span>ng, which will have to be postponed, but <\/span>you’ll<\/span> also have to order<\/strong> a new battery from a professional<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n

There are solutions<\/strong> if your engine battery fails at sea, such as a battery booster<\/strong>. This is a device that provides a temporary charge<\/strong> to your boat battery if it is discharged.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>But before you get yourself into such a situation, you can also check your engine battery level using the Seanapps application. This information is read by the battery voltage sensor<\/a><\/span>, which sends a notification if the battery on your motorboat or sailboat is no longer powered.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2- Check your fuel level<\/h2>\n
![\"photo](\"https:\/\/www.seanapps.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/photo-remplissage-carburant-bateau.jpg\")
<\/p>\nYou remember the fuel level<\/strong> when you get on board, but not often when you leave your boat behind. Let\u2019s speak about an embarrassing situation that has already befallen many boat owners. The owner arrives at the port to find that the fuel level is insufficient or non-existent, queues up at its only petrol pump<\/strong> and must delay the start of his journey.<\/p>\n
This is a boring case but imagine that you are already sailing in the middle of the ocean: the engine<\/strong> stops because it runs out of fuel. This is usually the moment when boat owners forget to look and fill up before setting off! This is a safety issue that can lead to running out of fuel and, in the worst case, the boat running aground.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
To avoid this kind of situation, a connected boat application<\/a><\/span> such as Seanapps can give you this information before your trip. Consulting this data before you arrive on the dock<\/strong> makes it easier to plan ahead! You can fill up the tank yourself or contact your dealer<\/strong> via the Seanapps messaging system to have the fuel level adjusted<\/strong> before your trip out to sea.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.seanapps.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/indicateur-niveau-carburant.jpg” alt=”photo capteur tension batterie Seanapps” title_text=”xr:d:DAGCNS5Ba9U:4,j:6159097132333558134,t:24041213″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”3- V\u00e9rifier le niveau d’eau dans la cale” module_id=”titre3″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
3- Check the water level in the bilge<\/h2>\n
![\"photo](\"https:\/\/www.seanapps.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/cale-bateau.jpg\")
<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
There’s nothing worse than leaving your boat in port and coming back with plenty of water on board! Checking the water level in the bilge<\/strong> is essential before your boat looks like a swimming-pool! If you don\u2019t look before sailing, dozens of liters of water can invade your bilge, rising with the boat’s movements and affecting the furniture (like upholstery and woodwork, which don’t like humidity). Several liters of water in the boat also adds weight, leading to higher fuel consumption<\/strong> and higher fuel costs later on. But other more serious scenarios can happen, for example if you forget to close the hatch<\/strong>. If left open after a sail can become an entry point for water, maximizing the chance of your boat sinking the next time you arrive in port.<\/p>\n
To prevent water accumulating on your boat, you can add things such as a bilge pump.<\/strong> This device evacuates the water inside. Its installation makes navigation safer, particularly in the event of water ingress. Bilge pumps are generally fitted as standard on the most modern boats. Use of a drain plug<\/strong> can also be a solution to prevent the water problem inside the boat.<\/p>\n

With the bilge high water sensor of Seanapps, no need to worry about excess water in the bilge. This sensor, which can be used on a motorboat, yacht, sailboat or catamaran, constantly monitors high water levels in the hold. In the event of a critical rise in water levels<\/strong>, you’ll receive an alert directly on your smartphone.<\/p>\n

4- Check your oil level<\/h2>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.seanapps.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/photo-bateau-moteur.jpg\")
<\/p>\nImagine your engine is poorly lubricated by the oil. Lack of lubrication leads to clogging of parts, slowing down their activity, which in turn reduces the engine’s power, impacting your performance. But underestimating this argument can lead to engine parts breaking, which is anything but pleasant if you’re out at sea.<\/p>\n
Of course, Seanapps can help you with this problem. By consulting the engine oil pressure from the mobile app, you can anticipate and adjust it, thanks to notifications sent in real time<\/strong>, if the pressure is not sufficient.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text admin_label=”5- N’oubliez pas de regarder les \u00e9quipements du bateau ” module_id=”titre5″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
5- Make sure you check the boat’s equipment<\/h2>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.seanapps.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/photo-bateau-face-mer.jpg\")
<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Failing to check your equipment<\/strong> before setting off can lead to situations ranging from embarrassing to critical.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Let’s<\/span> take the example of the generator<\/strong>, essential for the onboard power supply. Its role is crucial, especially if a power failure<\/strong> occurs while <\/span>you’re<\/span> sailing at night, turning a simple outing at sea into a potentially dangerous situation. With <\/span>Seanapps<\/span>, this mishap could have been avoided thanks to Gen set ignition sensor,<\/a><\/span> with data updates every 4 seconds, ensuring that everything works with the presence of electrical voltage<\/strong> on board.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Next, let’s consider the water tank<\/strong>. Not checking the water level before departure can mean having no drinking water available at sea, which is problematic on a hot day. The Seanapps app offers a simple solution by displaying the water level in the tank, allowing you to make sure it’s sufficient before leaving the dock<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n
Finally, air conditioning<\/strong>. Not checking that it’s working properly can make your stay on board uncomfortable, especially in hot weather. Seanapps, with its air conditioning ignition sensor, could alert you to any malfunction before it becomes a problem, ensuring a cool and pleasant environment during your journey.<\/p>\n

6- Boat maintenance: A guarantee of safety and longevity<\/h2>\n
![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.seanapps.app\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/bateau-maintenance.jpg\")
<\/p>\nRegular maintenance<\/strong> of your vessel’s parts is important. Boat maintenance costs<\/a><\/u> could quickly rise if you don’t keep an eye of them. That’s because the total replacement of a part (which is more likely if you don’t maintain your boat) is more expensive than a simple overhaul or repair.<\/p>\n
