Bilge Alarm System

[Jwatson]

I am upgrading my bilge alarm system. I would like a control panel for monitoring 4 bilges with the ability to also run an outside speaker and prefer 24vdc. 12vdc is possible. I see a panel on Blue Guard Innovations that works. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

FWIW i put an extra piezo beeper in my stateroom Incase the boat starts sinking when I’m sleeping.

Put a 120 dB + siren on the bridge. Wake the dead. Nobody seems to hear then off the shelf alarms.

Am I able to wire a remote alarm speaker for the bilge alarm listed on aqualarm.net?

I made a custom panel on my 53 with 6 rows for bilge Pumps and 2 rows for sumps.

Each row has a breaker, an manual override, a green LED to show breaker is on and two red LEDs, one for pump running, one for high water. Panel is fed directly from house bank. I still need to install a buzzer. It’s located at the lower helm where it’s visible from the salon

I used dark lexan for the panel itself.

I would call them. They sell all kinds of visual and audible alarms horns, strobes etc that seem compatible with their systems. I would think that the same wires that power the piezo could be tapped to trigger additional devices but there is not enough information on the webpage to tell.

This has worked well for me for many years. The counters are key. If the bilge number is more than zero, over a period of time you it can give you a good indication of any potential issues. Not sure if you can tell from the picture but it includes, manual-off-auto switch, power indicator, red light when on with buzzer alarm.
