All boat owners have been there. Something stops working and you tear apart your deck trying to figure out which gauge or instrument is the source of the problem. We will guide you on how to test your liquid level sending unit and fuel gauge so that you can isolate the problem and quickly order a new part.

When you work with partners to manufacture and supply engine components for commercial vehicles or other applications, you probably have your list of those you use frequently, perhaps some of them your company has worked with for years. However, making a choice based on “the way it’s always been done” is not usually the best for business.

Boat owners are the lifeblood of your business. Not only do you strive to carry the products they want and need, you need the ability to communicate with them effectively. You should be able to help them assess any problems with their boat, find a solution, and understand the value of the products and services you offer. Here, we’ll provide six tips to help you communicate with them, particularly where instrumentation issues are concerned.

An understanding of emission regulations underlies any work that contributes to the manufacture of commercial and industrial vehicles. International standards call for highly effective exhaust after-treatment systems in order to mitigate impacts on air, water, and human health. These regulations are incredibly detailed, complex, and vary by country. Here, we take a look into the broad overview of global emission regulations.

When you regularly order vehicle instruments and gauges, you probably weigh a lot of factors in your decisions, with price ranking high among them. The cost of individual components can work its way along the manufacturing chain to eventually affect pricing and profits on final products. 

When you’re out on the water, you want to relax and assume that all of the gauges and components on your boat are working smoothly. However, if you feel like your boat’s fuel gauge is giving inaccurate readings, or worse — you run out of fuel unexpectedly, you might have a problem with your fuel level sender. A marine fuel level sender and fuel gauge work as a unit, but for purposes of this article, we’ll focus on the level sender, helping you diagnose it and replace it if needed, so you can get back to boating.

NMEA 2000 is a plug-and-play communications standard used for connecting marine instrumentation within vessels. The plug-and-play interface allows devices made by different manufacturers to communicate with each other within the same network without causing interference between devices.
