Saved My Boat!

I would not have known my float switch was broken if not for Bilge Buddy. For what we spend on our boats it makes no sense not to protect it with Bilge Buddy.

Peace of Mind

Before adding this device I used to check on the boat daily. Now I can look on the app and check on the boats health. The cost is well worth the peace of mind especially while traveling not able to check the boat for extend durations.

Love

Great product easy install it gives you a piece of mind that your boat will be safe.

Great Investment and Support

Installed last season and Bilge Buddy saved us on numerous occasions - including our shore power coming loose, avoiding spoiled food and batteries draining. Ian has been nothing but responsive with any questions or troubleshooting (the issue was always us). It’s given us a piece of mind knowing our boat is being monitored 24/7.

Bilge Buddy Review

I’ve had Bilge Buddy for over a year now and it hasn’t skipped a beat. I learned that my battery charger had went bad because of this system. Gives me peace of mind when I’m away from the slip. Great system!
