    Yes that is data from the ‘weather balloon’ released to calibrate the weather models. Wind direction an velocity on right, Blue look like temperature, elevation by pressure on left.

    If your after a small footprint unit the Lowrance Hook2 4inch is very good value, nice clear screen in daylight. Allows you to see trend (is it getting shallower\deeper) .The bullet sensor an be installed inside, shoot thru hull an see to around 100’.  

    Battery Monitoring Systems

    Hi Looking at the collection of battery monitoring kit out there.

    Firstly do they offer much more than a good voltmeter and an understanding of what is a good, bad or ugly value?

    I have a analogy meter that you can guess the last 0.3-0.4 volts or there about. Also have a simple 2 battery system, start and house, charged by the alternator.

    As I have hole on the electric panel the Victron, Master Volt and Enerdrive units look a simple solution as they should go in the existing hole or do I just go for good digital meter to replace the analogy one.  Then there is the BEP DC monitor, Votronic LCD, the Renogy (recently flagged as not a good electronic supplier-although they appear popular in reviews) and the real flash PICO by Pimarine. There are also a few 'Ali' brands out of China.

    What are the common practices and experiences out there in this space.

    Thanks
