BEST BOAT TECH: Simarine Pico Systems Monitoring System

[@KingBeeinthePhilippines]

Renee you have a genius for a husband. He reminds me of my father who was literally a genius too. He's a instrument trained helicopter and airplane pilot too. I love your family. Such cool kids and you are the lynchpin holding it all together. God bless you in your travels and life. Huge fan here. -L.W.Hatcher

[@onthebeaches]

Nice install Keith! Love a man who pays attention to detail.

[@conan6329]

You Sir have a very specific Skill set!! That your acquired over a very long Time....Very Impressive and clean Install.

[@hughburton4175]

As a communications engineer, I am impressed with your workmanship. Working on boats is not easy. Three hours though, are you sure you didn’t mean 30? Making all this cable connectors and all. My rule of thumb when working in the marine industry is consider how long you think the job will take and multiply by 6. 👍

[@dreamingofsailing757]

Very clean wire install. Nice job

[@stevel7465]

Hey, really nice a clean install. And simple easy video. Well done! Thank you Steve

[@azoreandronefanatic]

A clean install like that should be illegal. Lol. Excellent work mate, love the level of the organization. I own exact same system but not on a boat but in my converted van. Excellent unit and pretty simple to install with minimum wires.

[@dalesmth1]

The Victron is NMEA compliant, and integrates into your chart plotter and tables.

[@the1stoldman]

that is some tidy wiring work, well done good sir

[@Ringele5574]

I love all these tech and systems videos. Keep em coming, please!

[@e2a2j]

I love the tech, but just like many people already mentioned, that is an incredible install. I don't know if most people understand how nice that wiring work has been done.

[@jimmcdonald9244]

Very informative Keith thanks. By the way, how is the solar rig performing? Is it generating enough for your needs?

[@shahriarjangin4066]

Thank you for the info you guys Rock i’m 95% through on my Bruce Roberts 43 steel and your videos it’s been a lot of help deciding what I wanna do on my boat 🙏🏽

[@jacksonms212]

Dude thanks I have been waiting for this update on systems it's nice to see Z coming together I know you love it ... fair winds be safe ;)

[@csranch2000]

Really nice install and explanation on the items. Enjoyed the video and your attention to detail.

[@kuzcuz]

Hi , how is the simarine system going?

[@jon_14_6]

hey Kieth, thanks for the vid, great info. Can you explain the reason for installing the two victron solar controllers, is it to accommodate the way you have your solar panels arranged connection wise ?

[@SailingZatara]

Yes; we have the full solar install episode coming out next Thurs the 8th. All these details will be there!

[@maxamillion4255]

Looks very easy to use and install. Giving you all that information in a hand held device saves time and effort I am sure. Looks like life just got a little easier onboard Zatara :)

[@swedishkev]

Very neat wiring Keith, Very professional looking indeed.

[@Zimflash1]

Keith I like this new channel a whole lot very informative thank you for sharing!

[@cdmm1708]

Sweet!! Love it. The more info the better!! Carry on capt!

[@rdubsdubsr]

Was thinking about getting something like this for my SO469 to monitor power draws precisely. Need to look up if it calculates amp-hours drawn, as opposed to just voltage level; voltage level is a very poor way of determining status of charge, the best stuff counts amp-hours out. I just checked the owners manual for it and it says it uses its own algorithm which is better than just monitoring amp-hours out, so it definitely looks at more than just voltage. Not as expensive as I thought it would be, that Pico Blue package looks like a good deal.

[@garymcflay5432]

Nice job driftwood

[@benmac7315]

That's some nice technology how many things can you connect through that system total?

[@charlieodom9107]

Did you re-upload this video? I watched it about 6 hours ago and it shows up as uploaded 10 min ago now. Weird!!!

[@SailingZatara]

I’d forgotten to put the discount code in the video, and I couldn’t find any other way than to edit it and reupload an entire new vid. Sorry for the confusion. I will refund you the 2 minutes of your life that you lost 😂😂 Kidding! Cheers and thanks for watching!

[@charlieodom9107]

@@SailingZatara I didn't lose anything except that feeling of 3 Zatara videos in one week! Thanks for the fakeout! Lol

[@en8581]

Can you please let me know what type/brand of tank monitor sensors you used? On the Simarine site it seems to indicate you must use a resistance type sensor.

[@DragonXDrei]

I think I'm just gonna wait until Keith gets bored of the Cat and I'll just buy his one:))) he put a lot of work and love in it.

[@frederickshandley5408]

Beautiful work, now I feel very incompetent; regards for sharing from New Zealand.

[@hughmichael6825]

Thanks for this upload. I've been looking at something like this for my Van and a boat. Does it not monitor / control an inverter or solar controller?

[@AlsinoFerreira]

awesome job sparky

[@BastienKoert]

Neat and tidy wiring. Nice job!

[@rdubsdubsr]

Do the shunts and current measurement devices have to have network wires run to the splitter, or do the shunts communicate to the Pico unit via wifi or bluetooth or something? Just trying to plan out where to run the wires, if it's wired.

[@Acheron2010]

Great job on dressing your cabling.

[@nickcooper14]

Love it, nothing better to work out which gremlin is chewing up your power. Be it mechanical or human👍🏼

[@peterreynolds4699]

A fantastic installation Keith. 10 out of 10 👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻💪🏻👌🏻👌🏻well done

[@BennyCaron]

After a year of work, do you have any comments about it? Good or bad.

[@natesnacks7829]

Can you put this in a skoolie or a RV?

[@andrewbrowning9329]

Great video!!

[@DuzBee]

That’s a clean and tight instal my friend but ya got to stop saying ‘very simple’ haha! I know I don’t have the knowledge for that, I would burn the boat down 🤣😂

[@lostinlife647866]

I watched this last week !!!! Its like it was removed and then re uploaded ?????

[@brianpetersen3429]

Excellent job, great video!

[@giterdunpete]

Damit The discount code doesnt apply to Australia

[@andrewb4556]

Hi THANKS FOR THE VLOG and information!

[@FilmNfool]

handy system for piece of mind

[@SpareRoomSlotCars]

This is great stuff, thanks for sharing

[@youngjojo3052]

How much a boat like this cost

[@garymyers6638]

Be cool if you could wire your radar and gps and auto pilot to your phone too. Then just lay in the hammock and set the boat to sail itself and wake you up if it needs something.

[@br5498]

Clean work...but I hope you gotta kick back for the infomercial....

[@AfricanFlightStar]

👍🏼😆

[@paulljungqvist6735]

Now, two years later... How do you guys feel about the Simrine now?

[@SailingZatara]

It works really well

[@giterdunpete]

Gosh, until ONE has a need for the simarine and victron systems ONE doesn't really realize what it can all do.

[@yztiffitzy6132]

This is the third time I saw this. First, a while back, second was today, and the third was also today. I don't know why you keep notify me of this old video clip. Something seems not right. Please check your system. I am pretty sure my system is normal because only your old video pop-up notification as new video. All my other subscription did not do this, only yours that did this. Please check. If this keep popping up, I might have to unsubscribe this.

[@michaelrutledge7048]

Yztif Fitzy It’s because if/when he gets an unfavorable comment, he can delete it by reloading his post.

[@SailingZatara]

Thanks but that wasn’t it; I’d forgotten to put the discount code in the video, and I couldn’t find any other way than to edit it and reupload an entire new vid. Sorry for the confusion. I will refund you the 2 minutes of your life that you lost 😂😂 Kidding! Cheers and thanks for watching (3x)!

[@yztiffitzy6132]

I have watched your video for some time already(I liked your new boat). I even go back and watch all your video from the old boat. I'm looking forward to seeing you leave the Mediterranean and head to Caribbean and Pacific in your new boat(that is where all the adventure really begin). Anyway, whatever the problem, I hope you fixed it. It kinda let me down when I'm thinking the new episode has come but being disappointed that old video pops up again.

[@yztiffitzy6132]

The thing is, when I finally figured it out that it is the old video, I stop watching it. Another thought, did I ask your opinion? I just want the owner of this channel to know something not right, and it is getting troublesome.

[@freelectron2029]

didnt need to buy scq25 and a 107 module. could have just done it all with one unit scq25t. not sure why you have 500 amp shunts everywhere when you could have just used the 300amp model. solar wont go above 150 amps and your inverter is maxed out at 200amps and your main engines arent going to charge more than 120 amps......soooo. not sure who was paying the bill but who ever designed the system didnt know what they were doing and surely wasnt paying.

[@tucoremirezful]

I think when you want to show a tell.......please do it correct !!!!! It dont measure the current, it measure the voltage drop !!! DH !!!!!!

[@latitudeash]

👌

[@willworknow]

They say to never buy a car off a mechanic because they do poor (or NO) work for themselves. As an engineer, I would NEVER do this myself, for similar reasons. It would look like a rats nest.

[@DragonXDrei]

Everything is Simple, and he shows 2000 wires:)))

[@claasriese1036]

nice advertisement

[@roybrinkley899]

talk about weird... great audio and no video at all.

[@khrome69]

You call that simple?? Bloody hell look at all those wires!!! Simple if you know how.

[@tucoremirez4859]

It's funny you try to be Mr wise guy. But you obviously don't know much about electricity A shunt measures neither current nor resistance. A shunt measures voltage drop. S.t.u.p.i.d.m.o.t.h.e.r.
