Looking for accessories that make engine management run more smoothly? You can choose from several types of engines for your own boat, but you also have to drive them. This can be done in several ways, for example via interfaces or a remote control. In addition, there are other accessories that contribute to the system, such as cables and wiring. Below you can read more about such systems, the types of engines boats use and which accessories contribute to this.
Type of engines for the boat
You can choose from several types of engines for the boat. Some engines are better suited for certain types of ships than others. The most important distinctions between engines are listed below:
Inboard Engine: An engine located inside the boat. This drive can be in the form of a propeller, generator or jet. This type of engine is often used for larger boats.
Outboard motor: a motor that is placed outside the boat. This is driven by a propeller. This type of engine is mainly used for motor boats or to support sailing boats and yachts.
Internal combustion engine: an engine that uses gasoline or diesel as fuel. When the engine is almost empty, it can be replenished by refueling. You should not use this type of motor on calm waters. In addition, it is quite noisy and this type of engine is bad for the environment due to the exhaust gases that pollute both the air and the water.
Electric motor: this motor uses batteries to power everything. These batteries can have multiple types of 'fuel'. This makes it possible to run everything on electricity, but you can also use solar cells. While with electricity-powered batteries you always have to ensure that everything remains charged, with solar cells it is technically possible to always have charged batteries. That is why solar boats are seen as the boats of the future. But there are more reasons why many choose electric motors: they are allowed on calm waters for motorboats, they produce little noise and are also environmentally friendly.
Electric outboard motors are now becoming increasingly popular, partly due to the many advantages associated with the use of this type of motor and the disadvantages associated with other types of motors. For electric outboarders you will find many accessories for motor management at Mediawinkel.eu.
Accessories engine management
For the implementation of engine management for your boat, several accessories can be found in the Mediawinkel.eu webshop. Below you will find an overview of the accessories that can be found in the range:
Gateways: these are engine management systems that allow you to monitor multiple data about the engine. This includes things such as oil pressure, battery or engine level, temperature, water pressure, position, speed, pressure, voltage and much more. This data is converted and then shown on a clearly visible display. This way you can immediately see and manage the condition of your engine.
Vessel views: this accessory shows both information about the engine and information about the nearby environment on the water. On the interface you will find things such as a chart plotter, sonar, radar, VHF, AIS and information about the engine. Based on information about both the environment and the engine, you are better able to carry out what is necessary.
Cables: for motor management you need to create a link between the motor and the interface. You make this link using cables.
Sensors: these allow you to record information about the engine (such as temperature or pressure).
