The last two pieces of electronics are the Barograph and Bilge Pump monitor.

We have a Meteograf Barograph which is a hybrid electronic and analog barometer. A digital displays shows the current pressure and the change in pressure during the last 1, 5, 15, 30 and 60 minutes. A paper chart displays the pressure over the last 3 1/2 days. It is entirely self contained with only a single roll of paper and battery necessary to keep it running for an entire year. It’s really a nice unit.

The final piece of electronic equipment is a Celectron Bilge Pump BW8 monitor. We have three electric bilge pumps, two 4,000 gph pumps in the salon keel sumps which drain most of the boat via limber holes, and one 2,000 gph in the bow locker that picks up water from the chain locker, air conditioning condensation, and whatever water enters through the bow locker hatch. The bilge pump monitor sounds an alarm whenever any of these pumps runs for more than 5 seconds (the delay for the alarm is programmable) and also keeps a record or each activation. The activation history allows the detection of any chronic problems. It’s a very well thought out device with lots of programmability and flexibility.
