 Topic: Gobius 4 in Holding tankPosted: 08 September 2009 at 08:55 |

In our 350 I never know when our small holding tank (30 liters) is full, so I am thinking of placing a level indicator.
As the tank is made of stainless steel and I do not want to make holes in it I'm thinking to use a level indicator called Gobius 4, this is the link: http://www.gobius.se/fmmarin/index.asp?mainId=134&cat1=145&show=145
it says measures from outside with vibration.
At it is not cheap 280Euro + VAT, and I never seen it working before, before I buy I would to know if anyone has had any experience with it or if any one has anything similar, or if any has placed any kind of tank level indicator and how have done it.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Edited by Gran Onada - 08 September 2009 at 08:56 |

I installed the Gobius 4 last weekend. Tested it and so far it works fine. Installation was very easy. I ordered it here: http://www.tek-tanks.com/
The price was £166.20 + Carriage and VAT so in total for me EUR 231,10 (about £200,-) . payment was by Credit Card and it was delivered within 1 week.
cheers

ps I do not have any relationship to this company!

slomo, Thanks for your quick answer. I have also seen the one at http://www.tek-tanks.com/.
Can you please let me know if it is version 1.0 or 2.0 as well as the product number, as in their web site I've only seen the one for plastic tanks.
Thanks.
Jaume

Hi,
my company is the Danish agent for this product and can give you a special Hanse Owner price for version 1.0 both steel and plast tank. (the only difference to version 2.0 is no NMEA 2000 output and another way of calibrating) Send a PM or contact via www.smilysailing.dk /Steen

My advice is to remove the metal tank and replace it with a larger plastic tank that you can just look at to determine how full it is. See my posts regarding my replacement project 'Holding Tank Vent Issue". See my last post with the photos. I more than doubled the capacity. Best improvement I have made to the boat.

@iliohale,
Did you check if the plastic tank can hold the full pressure of the head pump, just in case the vent blocks?  |

Can anybody help? The idea of what Gobius does is great and could be just what I am looking for. I have checked the gobius website and was interested to see that there is an NMEA 2000, so if you are connected to the standard Gobius display, with this NMEA signal will it display any readable data onto any other display for example one of the standard multi function display?
Any info greatfully received on this. Prehaps Abstinenz can shed some light on this as he mentions his company is the agent for this in Denmark

Hi Holby,
You need an adapter, like Maretron analouge adapter, between Gobius and the NMEA 2000 system. /Steen |
