Afloat Plan Home vs Ellebogen

Afloat Plan Home for anyone who boats, kayaks, canoes, jet skis, or paddles Purpose: To submit a plan while recreating on the water. Let others know you arrived home safely. Have someone search for you if you don’t come back. Submit via text message all the details of your planned water sports activity. Choose 5 contacts to receive a description of your boat, kayak, jet ski, paddleboard, or canoe. Setting up the app is easy, and you only do it once. • Enter your name, address, phone number, and contact information. • Complete the description of your watercraft—hull numbers, registration, size, and colors. • List your emergency contacts so they are contacted if you are late and do not end your trip. File a float plan in just a few easy steps. Type in your starting location, what your destination is, and what the arrival or return time are. When you push submit, it sends a description of your watercraft, with your starting location and a Google map link, to your contacts. During the course of your activity, your location will be captured every 10 minutes and stored in the cloud. The app continues to acquire your GPS location via satellite and track your trip even when you are out of LTE range. When you are out of range, trip location data is archived locally on your smartphone or tablet. As soon as you reenter LTE range, your offline trip locations are synchronized with the cloud. In the event you don’t end your trip at the scheduled time, the app will send a notification for you to end your trip. After 15 minutes, it will remind you again to end your trip. If after 30 minutes you have not ended the trip, the app will send your trip map to your contacts with route information and your last known location. If you have a Sirius Signal model C-1002 SOS eVDSD, you can test and turn on your signal remotely. The app also shows the light’s battery status. The app also includes an offline interactive looped audio first aid treatment guide for common on-water emergencies.

ELLEBOGEN app is a good tool that helps Sailboat and leisure boat owners to solve vibration problems on their marine engines. This tool can help on the following areas. 1.- Finding the exact idle speed of your engine. Tachometer panels are often unprecise. This app lets you measure the vibration of your engine using the internal accelerometer of your mobile phone. Below a presentation of the vibration measurement results. Each peak indicates the vibration orders of the engine. The higher peak is the firing order. This peak will allow us to know the rpm’s of the engine. The firing order of the engine is obtained by dividing number of cylinders by 2. For example a 4 cyl engine the firing order is the number 2, If the engine has 3 cylinders, the firing order is the 1.5. Lets imagine that you have a 3 cyl engine, once you have done a vibration measurement using the Ellebogen App, you find that the highest peak is at 20.06Hz. If we divide this result by the firing order (1.5) we will get 13.37Hz (802rpm) , This is to say: 20.06/1,5=13,37 Hz 13.37x60= 802rpm. 2.- Select the engine mount. Based on the measurement, weight of the engine and % of isolation that we want to achieve at idle, the app can select the correct marine engine mount for the application. 3.- Measure the performance of the marine engine mounts. Using the Ellebogen external accelerometer, the app allows you to measure the performance of isolation of your current engine mounts. ELLEBOGEN™ application engineers are the developers of this APP.
