Slightly off-topic but battery monitor related, after sailing off Croatia last summer I decided to buy one of these <https://www.panbo.com/simarine-pico-good-ideas-in-battery-monitoring-more/> No support in the U.S. but I’m always up for something new. I replaced my Link 20 with this unit. It has a 24-hour barograph, tank monitor, ambient temperature in addition to monitoring 2 battery banks. It has bluetooth so I can monitor with it’s app on my iPhone.
Looks trick if nothing else. ;-) And FWIW, the shunt is placed behind the distribution panel.
