Blue Sea 8235 Splashproof DC Digital Voltmeter

The Blue Sea 8235 is a splashproof DC digital voltmeter reading 0 to 60 volts.

Battery voltage is the single most useful number on a boat, because it tells you the state of charge before a problem becomes a flat bank rather than after. A digital readout resolves to a tenth of a volt where an analog needle does not. The 0 to 60 volt span covers 12, 24, 32, 36 and 42 volt systems, so one meter suits almost any DC installation afloat.

Three brightness levels let the display be dimmed for night running, where a bright meter at the helm ruins night vision. A manual sleep mode blanks the display entirely to save power, which matters on a boat sitting on the hook with no shore supply. Explore more marine electrical meters.
