Essential on-board instruments on a boat typically include a compass, GPS, fishfinder, wind speed and direction indicator, anemometer, radar, VHF, AIS (automatic identification system) and instruments for monitoring engine performance.
A marine GPS works by receiving signals from satellites orbiting the Earth. These signals are used to determine the exact position of the boat in terms of latitude and longitude. Many marine GPS units can also display detailed nautical charts and provide navigation information.
A fishfinder is used to measure water depth and detect objects/shapes below the surface, such as schools of fish. It works by emitting an audible signal and measuring the time it takes for the signal to bounce off the bottom or fish.
An anemometer is an instrument used to measure wind speed and direction. On a boat, it can help determine the best course and adjust sails for optimum performance.
Maintenance of your boat's on-board instruments can include regular cleaning of displays and housings, checking connections, updating software, replacing batteries if necessary, and storing instruments in a safe, dry place when not in use.
Installing new instruments on your boat may involve drilling holes for brackets, routing cables, connecting the instruments to the boat's electrical system, and configuring the instruments according to the manufacturer's instructions. In many cases, it may be preferable to call in a professional.
An AIS on a boat enables you to receive and transmit information about your position, course and speed to other boats and land stations. This can help avoid collisions and improve safety at sea.
Radar on a boat is used to detect other boats, obstacles, buoys and coastlines in the vicinity, even in bad weather or in the dark. It can be a valuable aid to navigation and safety.
Choosing the best on-board instruments for your boat depends on your specific needs in terms of navigation, fishing, sailing and so on. You also need to consider factors such as ease of use, reliability, compatibility with other equipment on board, and your budget.
