It’s that time of year in the UK, when many a boat is hauled out and their owners upgrade and maintain their systems.<\/p>\n

Victron video<\/h3>\n

Victron video producer Jonathan Cecil recently took a trip to Whitehaven Boatyard in Cumbria to see what such owners, Victron dealers and installers get up to over the winter period – and in so doing produced the fascinating video embedded later in this blog.<\/p>\n

Upgrade brief<\/h3>\n

In this instance the brief, to Victron specialist Chris Dobson of UK Marine Electronics Ltd., was a full Victron and Raymarine upgrade for sailing yacht Pilgrim, including a lithium battery system, upgrading Victron power systems and integrating them with a new Raymarine MFD.<\/p>\n

Pilgrim prepares for her winter haul-out<\/p><\/div>\n

Pilgrim was built on the Hamble in 2002, is 32′ LOA, planking construction and sheathed in epoxy – making for a heavy displacement, stable vessel.<\/p>\n

Raymarine integration<\/h3>\n

This very useful upgrade with the advent of Victron’s latest Venus OS for their GX devices<\/a> and the release of Raymarine’s latest Lighthouse software, means that users can view the status of Victron equipment on their Raymarine MFD.<\/p>\n

A Venus GX is device is able to communicate with the Raymarine Axiom Multi Functional Display (MFD) either directly or through a network router, via the Ethernet port and a RayNet adapter.<\/p><\/div>\n
