The Seatron Goonometer is a sophisticated engine control and monitoring meter, designed to serve as the central command and information hub on your vessel’s helm. Engineered for precision and durability, the Goonometer puts critical propulsion and engine data directly at the captain’s fingertips, ensuring efficient and safe vessel operation.
Key Features
-
Precision Engine Speed (RPM) Monitoring: The core function of the Goonometer is the precise display of engine revolutions per minute (RPM). This vital data is typically transmitted directly from the engine control module’s speed sensing circuit, allowing the tachometer needle to accurately reflect changes in engine speed . This information is crucial for managing throttle, optimizing fuel efficiency, and staying within the engine’s recommended operating range.
-
Advanced Vessel & Propulsion Data: Beyond basic RPM, the Goonometer provides a comprehensive suite of data to keep you fully informed of your engine’s status and your vessel’s performance. This includes:
-
Boat Speed: Displays your vessel’s current speed in MPH or knots, often in tandem with the RPM reading .
-
Critical Engine Parameters: Monitors and displays essential engine health data such as engine temperature, oil pressure, and battery voltage, allowing for the early diagnosis of potential mechanical anomalies .
-
Twin-Engine Synchronization: For vessels with multiple engines, the Goonometer features an RPM synchronizer display that shows the difference in speed between port and starboard engines, aiding in throttle adjustments for smooth, balanced running .
-
-
Versatile Integration with Modern Systems: The Seatron Goonometer is designed for seamless integration into modern marine digital ecosystems. It is engineered to support a variety of signals, including analog signals from older engines and protocols like NMEA 2000 and J1939 for modern diesel engines . This versatility makes it a suitable choice for both new builds and major refits, allowing you to modernize your dashboard without complex structural modifications .
Applications
The Seatron Goonometer is ideal for a wide range of marine applications, including:
-
Powerboats & Yachts: Serves as the primary engine control and monitoring station for single or multi-engine setups .
-
Refits & Modernizations: A perfect upgrade to replace outdated gauges, offering a modern digital interface with the ability to connect to old analog instruments or contemporary engine control systems .
-
Commercial Vessels: Provides the robust and reliable engine data monitoring required for demanding commercial operations
